The Guadalupe County Children’s Advocacy Center relies upon volunteers to achieve our mission of providing a safe environment for children. Eligible individuals are those who are 18 years old or older, agree to and have a clear criminal history background check as well as a CPS background check, and participate in on-site training provided by GCCAC.
Most of our volunteers are what we call Family Greeters, who help make the family feel as welcome and comfortable as possible. These volunteers greet the family when they arrive as well as sit with them in the waiting room during their appointment, keeping them company and assisting with any needs they may have. Our volunteers can also assist with administrative tasks and special events.
We also have a group of volunteers who make and fill bags that are given to each child who comes to the Center for the first time. Bags and items differ based on the child’s gender and age. See examples below. If you would like to donate items for these bags, check out our wish list on the Donations page.
