Yesterday, our Executive Director, Sarah, had the opportunity to return to her alma mater, McKendree University, as a panelist for their Lifelong Learning and Exploration Day!

As part of a panel of alumni working in a variety of fields, Sarah was able to share more about the work of Child Advocacy Centers, the role we play in supporting children and families, and the various career opportunities (and what your path may look like) within the field of child advocacy. Most importantly, it was a chance to introduce students to a part of the nonprofit and human services world they may not have known much about!

A huge THANK YOU to McKendree for the invitation and opportunity to connect with students, share more about the FWCAC's mission, and help shine a light on the important work happening at Child Advocacy Centers. 💙

It was a great week getting to connect with other directors from around the state! Thank you, CACI, for another great Director’s conference!

When your work gives you the opportunity to spend time with the most amazing leaders! CACI hosted Executive Directors and leaders representing all 41 CACs in Illinois for 2 1/2 days together in Bloomington to learn, network, and have fun. So proud of this amazing network 💙
