The Child Advocacy Center (The Center or CAC) in Gainesville provides a child friendly, safe and supportive environment for abused and neglected children. Through the Center, social workers, counselors, law enforcement officers, state attorneys, victim advocates, Guardians Ad Litem, and medical professionals work as a team to coordinate investigations and interventions for each child abuse case, thus expediting the child's time in the legal system. Combining the wisdom and professional knowledge of a "multidisciplinary team" ensures that children are not re-victimized by the system and that they and their families are provided the support and services needed.
Generous donations from members of the community like you help to ensure that the CAC can continue to serve these voiceless victims. We welcome your support of the Jay's Hands Project. Please inquire today about how you can become volunteer or a Friend of the CAC. We are always looking for community-based volunteers as well to help this project become a success.
