SafePath is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization that is accredited by both the National Children’s Alliance (NCA) and the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Georgia (CACGA). SafePath advocates for victimized children (neglect, emotional aggression, physical violence, sexual abuse, trafficking, etc.), ensuring they have access to the best support system and resources possible.
SafePath’s primary role is to reduce the trauma for these children, and coordinate and facilitate conversations through the legal system (law enforcement, healthcare, DFCS, etc.) to make the process of navigating through a difficult situation more efficient and less stressful. Providing services to these children is central to what children’s advocacy centers do.
While SafePath receives some funding through grant allocations, their work is also supported through individual donations and fundraisers. And though volunteers cannot directly work with the children due to the highly sensitive nature of the work, they are more than welcome to support in other ways by volunteering onsite with a variety of tasks and at fundraisers, in addition to being educated on the prevention of child abuse.
If you would like to get involved with SafePath through volunteering, donating, or participating in an event, please contact Lindsey Dugan – Community Resource Assistant.
