A Message From Our Founder/CEO

"A Courageous Voice (ACV) was created to prevent and protect children from child sex abuse. My work with youth began over 30 years ago to make sure that children have a voice. As a survivor of child sex abuse, I never want to see another child be affected the way I was. "
-Amy Ever, Founder/CEO
