We are passionate about child well-being and are driven to make a difference.
We come from all walks of life and have many different backgrounds. We believe in the rights and dignity of children and are committed to putting that belief to work for children who have been abused or neglected. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence in service.
Our network of volunteers, staff, and supporters live within the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, and neighboring communities throughout Virginia and Maryland.
Our goal is to ensure that every child who has experienced abuse or neglect has a volunteer advocate to speak up for their best interests. We will help them find safety, permanency, and the road home, wherever it lies. We will help them heal and thrive.

MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL
MORE LIKELY TO FIND A SAFE, PERMANENT HOME
HALF AS LIKELY TO RE-ENTER THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM
Whatever their age, children removed from the home because of abuse or neglect face a frightening, profound unknown.
We make sure they don’t face it alone.
We stand by them. We are there whenever they need us, for as long as it takes to reach a safe, permanent home. We are strong, compassionate adults who are a consistent presence, who care, who listen, and who put the child’s interests before all others.
And we do. Children who have a court-appointed volunteer receive more of the services that are critical to their well-being than children who don’t. They are more likely to succeed in school.
