Tour the Center
Take a walk in their shoes.
Interested in visiting the Children’s Advocacy Center? We invite you to “Walk In Their Shoes” and join us for a free, hour-long informational tour. We’ll provide a light lunch along with:
- a trip through the Center
- a conversation with staff members about the work they do with children
- a look at our counseling rooms, interview room, and investigative suite
- an opportunity to ask one-on-one questions with staff members
We guarantee that you and your guests will not be asked to make a financial contribution. Checkbooks are not needed. We will ask for your contact information so that we can give you a follow-up call to find out your thoughts about the tour and the Center.
Schedule your visit.
Our Walk in their Shoes tours takes place on the second Tuesday of every month. The next several tour dates include:
- October 8, 2019
- November 12, 2019
- December 10, 2019
