Child Advocates of Silicon Valley - Milpitas, California

Their goals is to help troubled children which is noble mission but my onboarding experience is not that good. First of all, their rules are too draconian, I donated number of toys during pandemic but they took brand new ones and refused even lightly used toys citing danger of covid transmission due to their policy. But that policy was based on ignorance a scientific research has always stressed airways were primary means of transmission but 99.9% cases there had always never been a documented case of covid transmission through surface. There is also a strange policy where casa adv. Can not take their children to their home, which I feel surprised but agreed anyways but my deal breaker was adv.s can not make contact with advocated children and their own children.

I had trained for weeks and got kicked out a day before swearing in because they made assumptions about my character, including that I had been "inebriated", and didn't bother testing their theories to see it they're true. They just kicked me out with no real explanation. I wanted to take on multiple cases and help whomever I could feel that they were being heard in court, that their voice is heard.

In the process, I got silenced.
If they can behave this way towards me, I can't imagine how they behave towards the families and children that they "help".
I am left traumatized, questioning myself and my worth, after they took my time, money, effort, and information. I am horrified that this is an organization that continues to thrive, despite treating people this badly.

I love an organization that focuses on the children in our community. Foster kids have been put through the ringer... and not in a fun way. Child Advocates recruits, trains and matches up caring adults to these children. The advocates, AKA: CASAs, hang out with and advocate for these kids on a 1:1 basis.

The organization cares about their volunteers as much as they do the children. This combination gives the volunteers the confidence and support they need to be successful advocates for these kiddos.

I highly recommend becoming involved with Child Advocates. We all have a few hours to spare. Let's do it!

A great nonprofit doing valuable work. One of the best volunteer experiences I've ever had. If you're looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity with children in need, look no further.

To be honest, I was not here for services but rather donated time for service. The time (a day's work) I spent there I found the members extremely caring, educated, and professional here.
