Their mission is: - To provide a comfortable, child friendly atmosphere for the alleged victims of child abuse to receive coordinated services during the investigative process. - To ensure that each child who enters the CJC for an interview will be treated with respect and caring with no regard to their ethnicity, religion, gender, or disability. - To decrease the secondary trauma that can inadvertently be used by the criminal justice and child protection systems. - To encourage the prompt and efficient processing of cases by sharing of information and improving coordination. - To minimize through coordinated efforts the number of times a child may be interviewed.To focus on what is in the best interest of the child by providing every opportunity for service, protection and prosecution where appropriate. - To track childrens cases as needed for the benefit of the children. - To ensure that every child who is alleged to have been abused receives a medical examination when necessary. UPDATE 8/28/2020 - NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS. COULD USE HELP WITH YARD WORK.
Volunteers help with general office duties, cleaning and yard work. They also help with the Christmas Festival for the Children each December. Volunteers do not work with the children, as their visits to the center are extremely confidential.
It was very shocking to realize how many children in a small community are affected by sexual abuse and domestic violence. By working at the CJC, I've found it to be very humbling and would recommend the experience to anyone. - Timi Earl, Heber, Utah
