Bring hope to their journey of Thousands Miles
Be a Child Advocate for an unaccompanied immigrant CHILD


Two-Day Training for New Volunteers Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3, 2016.
*9 AM to 4 PM on both days*

We especially welcome volunteers who speak:
Spanish, Mexican and Central American indigenous languages (e.g., Mam, K’iche’).


Space is limited. Preference will be given to bilingual volunteers.

Register by Friday, March 18th.

To become a Child Advocate, you must: be 21 years old; submit to a background check and health screening; participate in both days of training; and be approved by the Young Center.

How We Serve:
The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights trains volunteers to serve as Child Advocates for unaccompanied immigrant children in immigration deportation proceedings.

The role of the Child Advocate is to meet with the child, learn the child’s story over time, and advocate for the individual child’s best interests
