The Support Center for Child Advocates teams dedicated and competent volunteer lawyers with experienced child advocate social workers and staff attorney consultants to provide legal and social work services to child victims of abuse and neglect through a “whole child” representation model. Lawyers and paralegals from many of the Philadelphia-area law firms and corporate legal offices represent children in child welfare and custody court proceedings. Our dedicated Board of Directors provides diligent fiscal and programmatic oversight and promotes our work in the community. Hundreds of generous donors and lay volunteers help to advance our work through special events like the Child Advocates Golf Classic, Holiday Toy Drive and Philadelphia Bar Association 5K Run/Walk.
