Description
Our organization is dedicated to championing the rights and best interests of immigrant children, ensuring their voices are heard and that they are safe, free from detention, and with family in the community whenever possible. Our volunteers serve as Child Advocates, meeting weekly with children, building trusting relationships, and amplifying their voices.
