CWS AmeriCorps Program
Every minute in America six children are abused and their lives are forever changed. Child abuse is a public health problem with cascading consequences during the victims’ lives. Substantial research informs us that rates of child abuse/neglect are attributable to a combination of community and family risk factors.
The California State Child Welfare System works with families only after child risk has risen to a point that possible removal of the child(ren) is warranted. Prevention strategies need to be a part of our response to this public health issue.
CWS AmeriCorps members meet this service need by providing family supportive services and nurturing parenting education to those most at-risk for child abuse in order to reduce risk factors and prevent entry into the system.
Members serve at a variety of service sites, including County CPS/CWS Departments, Non-Profit Family Resource Centers, Child Abuse Prevention Councils, Community Action Agencies, School Districts/Education Departments, and more.
