Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center’s (WCCAC) mission is to provide hope, healing, and justice for children and families impacted by abuse, violence, and exploitation in our community. We envision a community where children grow up safe and free from abuse. From the environment we create to our expertly trained staff, we strive to reduce the emotional trauma for children and their non-offending family members.
 
The culture of the Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center is built on our shared core values – Compassion, Integrity, Community, and Visionary.  Compassion and Integrity mean that we work together and make decisions for the greater good – with open, honest, and respectful communication, taking responsibility for what we do and say.  Community means that we provide a safe, welcoming, supportive environment that encourages balance, wellness, and team spirit; we create connections through acts of service both inside and outside the organization.  Visionary means that we learn from our failures, following our relentless curiosity and striving to improve, learn, and grow by asking questions, seeking knowledge, and stretching beyond our comfort zone.
 
We hire, fire, review, reward, and recognize our teammates based on these characteristics, so it’s important that you share these values in order to be part of our team.
