Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Support of Guardian ad Litem Program

GAL volunteers are dedicated to serving and advocating for every child they are assigned. Each is very passionate about meeting the needs of our region’s most vulnerable children. Many times a need may arise that is not covered by the state-funded GAL program. This prompted the initial idea of forming a non-profit to raise funds to help provide the additional much needed support and thus the creation of Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast (Voices OTC).

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

The organization operates a mobile/RV visitation center, providing greater access and a private setting for children and parents to conduct supervised visits. The program provides a more conducive atmosphere for an effective parent/child visit and also increases the frequency and occurence of these visits through addressing transporation issues faced by many parents.
