Year-End Numbers

In 2024, the Child and Youth Advocacy Center Served 152 new Children

Committed to the Safety of Children

2024 Data Report

One in every 10 children will be a victim of sexual abuse by their 18th birthday.

The Child and Youth Advocacy Center exists to change those numbers and lead the fight against the cycle of child abuse through a stronger, more approachable model. And over the past year, we’ve made significant progress by providing forensic interviews, medical exams, and therapy to over 100 children in our community.

How This Benefits Our Community
