Childhelp chapters and auxiliaries

Like a family

Childhelp chapters play a crucial role in extending Childhelp’s reach and impact. These regional branches act as vital arms of the organization, implementing the mission on a more localized level. Chapter members engage in community-specific activities, such as awareness campaigns and fundraising events tailored to the needs of their communities.

By mobilizing local volunteers, fostering partnerships and advocating for changes within their communities, chapters ensure that Childhelp’s efforts are widespread and rooted in diverse areas, creating a robust network of support and action against child abuse.

Even if there isn’t a chapter in your area, you can still make a difference.

What does being a part of a Childhelp chapter or auxiliary mean?

Chapters are made up of committed members (volunteers) who are dedicated to supporting the abused and at-risk children helped by Childhelp through fundraising and service projects. Each Chapter, while operating under Childhelp’s bylaws, has its own unique personality and special projects and events that reflect the community they serve. Chapters usually meet monthly or as often as needed to achieve their program and fundraising goals. Attendance at meetings is encouraged but optional.

Can I work directly with abused children?

In most cases, no. Because of the unique needs of the children served by Childhelp, there are very few opportunities to work directly with them. If any opportunities exist, your local Chapter can assist you in beginning the screening process. However, chapters are dedicated to making a real difference in children’s lives through service projects, collections of needed items and gifts, and fundraising for direct-benefit causes. These efforts have a profound and positive impact on the children Childhelp serves.

Does a chapter/auxiliary fundraise?

Yes! The Chapters and Auxiliaries, led by the Regional Chapter Director, organize a diverse range of special events aimed at raising funds for Childhelp. From elegant black-tie galas with silent auctions to exciting motorcycle rides, golf tournaments, fashion shows, wine festivals, and holiday boutiques, as well as fun casino nights and art and antique auctions, these events are not only about fundraising but also about coming together to support Childhelp’s essential programs and facilities while spreading awareness of its impactful mission. Chapters host two fundraising events per year, and Auxiliaries host one. Check out the Childhelp events page to see what is coming up next!

What if there isn't a chapter/auxiliary in my area?

If there is no Chapter or Auxiliary in your area, you can still help! Here’s how:

  • Spread the word about Childhelp on social media.
  • Encourage your local school system or community organizations to adopt Childhelp’s prevention education program, Speak Up Be Safe.
  • Become a corporate sponsor of Childhelp.
  • Form a new regional Chapter or Auxiliary, following Childhelp guidelines.
