The Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester

Every child deserves a childhood filled with potential. We believe in our vision of a community where all children are safe and free from abuse. Our mission is complete when our services are no longer needed. Until then, we hear you, we see you, and we will advocate for you.

The Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester is a warm and welcoming place where children who have experienced the trauma of abuse begin to heal.

As the premier Child Advocacy Agency Center in the Greater Rochester Region, we are dedicated to giving children a voice and putting an end to abuse. Our comprehensive services offer support to children and families to help provide healing, education, and prevention.

Mission: We give children a voice by advocating for them with trauma-informed, child-centered services across prevention, intervention, and healing. We create spaces where children can feel supported through adulthood and each step of their journey, while ensuring they do not experience re-traumatization.

Vision: A future where every child is secure and protected, leaving no room for abuse. Values Advocacy: We build bridges between survivors, families, professionals, and communities, giving children a voice and fostering a network of support and empowerment.

Belonging: We promote a culture where every person who walks through our doors feels welcomed, valued, respected, and accepted for who they are.

Safety: We prioritize physical, emotional, and mental safety by ensuring that all actions protect survivors and their families, ourselves, and those we interact with daily.​

Hope: We understand that progress takes time, effort, and unwavering dedication, but ending child abuse and creating hope in our community is ultimately worth it.​

Restoration: We facilitate healing and growth while tirelessly pursuing justice, driven by the belief that change is possible, even for the most wounded hearts.
