Voices for Children is seeking volunteers to advocate for the best interest of children in foster care in the Brazos Valley. “We want every child involved in the foster care system to have an advocate by their side while they go through such an uncertain time in their lives,” said Amy Faulkner, Executive Director of Voices for Children. “Unfortunately, there continues to be an increase in children entering the foster care system from our community. We need more volunteers from the community to serve these children and their families.”
