Minor in Child Advocacy Studies
In-Class

Child advocacy refers to a range of individuals, professionals and advocacy organizations who speak out on the best interests of children. An individual or organization engaging in advocacy typically seeks to protect children’s rights which may be abridged or abused in a number of areas. A child advocate will try to prevent children from being harmed and may try to obtain justice for those who have already been injured in some way. A child advocate may also seek to ensure that children have access to positive influences or services which will benefit their lives such as education, childcare and proper parenting.

This Child Advocacy Studies minor will prepare pre-professionals and practitioners to respond to child maltreatment in an ethical and culturally sensitive manner.
