Advocating in Our Community

Be a voice for children in our community.

One of the most impactful ways to support The CAC is by raising awareness about child sexual abuse and empowering others with the knowledge to protect children. Becoming an advocate plays a vital role in fostering a safer community for all children.

The biggest roadblock of awareness is silence.

Get to Know The CAC

Educate Yourself & Others

  • Attend our free training sessions to learn about recognizing child sexual abuse, internet safety, reporting abuse, and human trafficking.
  • Read our Prevention Guide to understand key facts about child sexual abuse and proactive steps you can take to prevent it.

Take Action in the Community

  • Join our Advocates of The CAC Group. The group focuses on volunteering, advocacy, and raising awareness about child sexual abuse.
  • Support children in need. Coordinate an in-kind donation drive for clothing, school supplies, or holiday gifts.
  • Host prevention training. Advocate for bringing our prevention programs to schools, churches, and community groups.
  • Invite others to get involved. Organize a tour of The CAC for friends or colleagues, or attend one of our fundraising events together.
  • Educate your family. Talk with your children about body safety, boundaries, and what to do if they feel unsafe.
  • Raise awareness in your workplace. Host a Lunch & Learn at your office or home to educate others about child sexual abuse and The CAC’s impact.

Protecting children requires a community-wide effort. Child sexual abuse and sex trafficking leave lifelong impacts — once abuse occurs, it cannot be undone. Every child deserves a safe and healthy future, and it is our collective responsibility to prevent abuse before it starts. Please join us in creating a safer future for all children.
