Affiliates

NACC Affiliates help fulfill the mission of the National Association of Counsel for Children, while providing members the opportunity to be more directly and effectively involved on the local level.  If you are interested in participating in NACC activities on a local level, or merely want some regular contact with other child advocates, please contact the organizations or individuals listed in your area.  If there is not an affiliate in your area, please contact the national office in Denver.  The formation of an NACC affiliate is simple, and we can provide you with an affiliate development packet to get you started.
