Every child deserves someone in their corner
CAJA of Madison County trains volunteer advocates to speak up for abused and neglected children in the court system — so no child navigates it alone.
One steady advocate, until a child has a safe, permanent home.
Advocate
We speak up in court for each child’s best interests, making sure their voice is heard in every hearing.
Investigate
Volunteers review case records and talk with everyone involved — parents, teachers, doctors, caseworkers — to understand the full picture.
Report
We give judges clear, fact-based recommendations to help guide decisions about a child’s safety and future.
Support
Every child gets one steady, caring adult who stays with their case from start to a safe, permanent home.
To support and promote court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can have a safe, permanent home.
Children with a CAJA volunteer spend 8 months less in foster care, on average, than those without one.
