The Court & Child Advocacy Group Inc.

The Court & Child Advocacy Group Inc. is a woman-owned, non-profit corporate entity registered in SAM.gov through June 20, 2025, located in Shelbyville, Indiana. The organization specializes in child advocacy services, focusing on supporting children who have experienced abuse and neglect through Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) programs. While the organization does not have federal contract prime awardees, it has successfully received federal grant sub-awards, primarily working with state judiciary court systems to provide comprehensive child welfare support services.

The organization has consistently received federal grant sub-awards from the Judiciary Courts of the State of Indiana, with recent awards dated October 1, 2022, and October 1, 2024. These grants support a holistic approach to child welfare, involving volunteer coordination, case management, and direct child advocacy. Specifically, the grant-funded programs involve maintaining a full-time volunteer coordinator who supervises 8-15 volunteers, manages case records in the OPTIMA system, and supports recruiting and training advocates. The organization's staff advocates conduct intensive, independent investigations of court-ordered cases, which include observing children and relevant adults, reviewing records, collaborating with professionals, and submitting detailed, objective court reports. The primary focus is on advocating for the best interests of abused and neglected children under the jurisdiction of Rush Circuit and Shelby Superior Court, with an emphasis on addressing the psychological, physical, and educational needs of children to promote permanency in their lives.
