The UF Child Advocacy Center is deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our community, whose generosity and commitment play a pivotal role in our mission to protect and empower children. The work we do would not be possible without the collaboration of individuals, families, organizations, and volunteers who understand that a collective effort is necessary to create lasting change. By coming together, we ensure that children who have experienced trauma receive the care, resources, and advocacy they deserve. Every contribution, big or small, strengthens our ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families, providing them with the hope and healing they need to move forward. We are truly inspired by the power of community and the collective impact we can have when we all stand together for the children who need us most.
So far in 2024, we have:
- Served a total of 394 children and their families
- Provided free trauma-informed counseling sessions to 37 children
