Your skills can help bring a child home.
Father’s Advocacy Network runs on people who refuse to look away. Researchers, listeners, designers, writers, lawyers, former caseworkers, grant writers — there’s a seat at the table for what you do best.
Every family we help needs someone to listen, someone to dig into the records, and someone to tell the story so the next family doesn’t go through it alone.

Before you apply
Do I need experience?
No. The application asks whether you have no experience, some experience or career-level expertise in each area, and we place people at every level.
Why the CVI assessment?
It tells us how you naturally think and work, so we can match you to a role you’ll be good at and enjoy. Your scores go into your application.
What if I’m a former CPS worker or an attorney?
Please apply. Parents need people who understand the system from the inside, and attorneys can offer legal insight within appropriate limits.
