FOLLOW US TO STAY UP-TO-DATE ON ALL THINGS CAC!

The CAC of Suffolk County supports the health and wellbeing of the children and families of Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. Each month we'll share highlights and updates to help you better understand how you are part of the healing and justice we see every day. 

The CAC is seeking two bilingual Family Advocates. Critical members of our Mental Health team, our Family Advocates offer education, support, advocacy, and referrals for necessary services in order to help children and families heal after violence and abuse.

One of the Family Advocates will be English/Spanish Family Advocate and the preferred languages for the second position are Haitian Creole, Chinese, Portuguese, and Cape Verdean Creole.

Not bilingual? Already have your dream job? Forward this opportunity to your networks and help us find our next incredible colleague!

The Step Up & Speak Out Benefit, (October 12, 2023) is an inspiring event that celebrates the strength of survivors and raises critical funds to support the CAC's free services for children who have been sexually abused and exploited.

You can sponsor the event to show your support for the children and families we serve and celebrate this year's honoree―former CAC Executive Director, Susan Goldfarb!

Opportunities range from $25,000 to $1,000. The deadline for inclusion on the invitation is August 18, so e-mail Kim to pledge your support today!
