Supporting Children's Advocacy Centers Across Pennsylvania

Children’s Advocacy Centers are where children go to be heard, supported, and protected.

PennCAC ensures those centers have the structure, guidance, and support they need to do that work effectively every day, across every community.

What Support Really Means

Support goes beyond guidance—it’s about creating consistency, confidence, and clarity across the entire CAC network.

We help centers:

  • Meet national standards
  • Strengthen service capacity
  • Navigate complex cases
  • Stay connected to a statewide network of peers

Core Areas

Training & Technical
Assistance

We provide trainings that help CACs achieve and maintain accreditation, and offer ongoing, real-time support to help centers address challenges, improve processes, and grow sustainably.

Peer Network & Collaboration

We connect CAC leaders and teams across Pennsylvania—creating space for shared learning, problem-solving, and support.

Statewide Coordination

We help align efforts across counties and agencies, so children receive consistent care regardless of where they live.

Accreditation & Standards

We guide CACs through national accreditation and help maintain the standards that ensure high-quality, child-focused care.

What This Means for Children

Behind every supported CAC is a child who:

  • Doesn’t have to navigate the system alone
  • Receives coordinated care
  • Has access to the right services at the right time
