Annual Child Advocate Awards

Each year the United Voices for Children Board of Directors selects individuals or groups to receive the Bishop Jesse R. DeWitt Child Advocacy Award, the Katherine B. Greene Child Worker Award and the Rev. Margaret Ann Williams Service Award. These awards honor extraordinary service or advocacy efforts on behalf of children, youth and/or families throughout the Northern Illinois Conference.

We invite you to nominate an individual or a group who deserves this recognition.
