Are you looking for something meaningful to do in the New Year and interested in making a difference in the lives of children? Beginning January 30, Child Advocates of Fort Bend is offering a week-long training class to train volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children. This is one of two opportunities offered in 2012 to complete the volunteer training class in a single week.

Child Advocates of Fort Bend is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing a voice for abused and neglected children in Fort Bend County. With an army of volunteers, Child Advocates of Fort Bend currently serves more than 400 children each month through its Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program and Children’s Advocacy Center.
