Get Involved

The things we experience in our primary years shape the development of the rest of our lives. Your kind gifts are what keep The Monongalia County Child Advocacy Center providing assistance to children who have suffered abuse or other traumas. Without our generous donors and volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to give hope to kids who need us most. You can help us make a difference in someone’s future.

DONATE

Your monetary gifts are graciously accepted and used to sustain our services to this community. No donation is too small.

When you give to MCCAC, you directly support:

  • Child-centered investigative interviews
  • Therapy sessions for victims to help them heal
  • Sustaining advocate time with families to ensure stability

Your gifts help keep children safe. Donate today.

*MCCAC honors their donors in various way including recognition on social media platforms and monthly newsletters. Please contact Taylor at tshultz@moncocac.org if you make a donation that you would like to remain anonymous. 

Join the #High5Drive! 

MCCAC invites you to participate in the campaign, #High5Drive, for Child Abuse Prevention Month! 👋

Last year, the Monongalia County Child Advocacy Center had 629 clients walk through our doors following allegations of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or neglect. The Monongalia County CAC is asking you to join the #High5Drive by donating $5 to give a High 5 to one of those brave kids!

Donate online by clicking the button below. If you would like to donate at one of our official campaign sites, visit AntiquiTea House or The Tea Shoppe at the Seneca Center.

Volunteer

Your time is a graciously accepted gift, as well! When you volunteer at MCCAC, you are helping sustain safety for at-risk youth in our community. If you are interested in volunteering with our Center, please contact Taylor Shultz (tshultz@moncocac.org) to hear about current opportunities. Please note: Due to the confidential nature of our services, volunteer opportunities that offer direct interaction with clients are limited. Volunteers who interact with families at the Center must pass a child abuse registry and criminal background check.

If you are a student at a local college or university and would like an internship at our agency, please contact Dr. Capage at lcapage@comcast.net

Participate in Events

MCCAC events are not only fun to participate in, but they are also an important part of our organization. Help us make each MCCAC event successful. In addition to attending, participating in events can include volunteering at the event, participating in the planning process, or sharing the date and details with others in the community and encouraging them to come.
