Our Mission

To advocate for abused and neglected children by providing a voice in the courts and in the community through trained volunteers.

Our Vision

Every child in Pueblo County will grow up in a safe, nurturing, and loving home.

_______________________________________________________________________

 Each year over 460,000 children in the United States are thrust into court through no fault of their own.

Some are victims of violence, psychological torment or sexual abuse.  Others have been neglected or even abandoned by their own parents.  Most of them are frightened and confused.

Often, these children also become victims of this country’s overburdened child welfare system – a complex legal network of lawyers, caseworkers and judges who frequently are too overburdened to give thorough, detailed attention to each child who comes before them.  The consequences can be severe.

All children deserve

a safe, permanent home!

Every year Colorado spends over $350 million on prisons, but less than $7 million on the prevention of abuse and neglect of children.  A large percentage of the adults currently incarcerated were abused as children.  Clearly, helping abused children today is the way to address many of society’s problems tomorrow.

Become part of one of the most prestigious volunteer activities in the nation and speak up for a child.
