What is PCA Iowas AmeriCorps Partnership Program?
In 2007, Prevent Child Abuse Iowa received approval from the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service for its AmeriCorps Partnering with Communities to Protect Children program. Under the overall direction of PCA Iowa, this program supports ten local Community Partnerships for Protecting Children sites in their efforts to reach out earlier to stressed families and to intervene more promptly and comprehensively when abuse occurs. Through PCA Iowa’s AmeriCorps Program: • AmeriCorps members will help Partnership sites organize a network of neighborhood and community supports for families. • AmeriCorps members will help sites better engage families through the family team meeting process. • AmeriCorps members will work to strengthen the shared decision-making teams that guide and support local Partnership efforts.
