OUR STORY
The Montgomery Child Advocacy Project's mission is to safeguard the rights, uphold the interests, and amplify the voices of children victimized by abuse, neglect, and trafficking.
For over 22 years, the Montgomery Child Advocacy Project (MCAP) has stood up for children in Montgomery County who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trafficking. We provide free legal advocacy to ensure every child has a voice in the moments they need it most.
Through a dedicated network of volunteer attorneys, MCAP has served more than 11,600 children, representing their best interests in court, guiding them through the legal system, and working alongside social services to ensure they are heard, protected, and supported, all at no cost to the child or their family.
Beyond the courtroom, MCAP reaches thousands more each year through prevention education and community outreach, empowering children, strengthening families, and working to stop abuse before it starts.
MCAP is committed to making Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Sustainability (IDEAS) central to its mission and guaranteeing that its services are inclusive of the racial, ethnic, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds of all clients being served.
