Children's Advocacy Project

The mission of The Children’s Advocacy Project (CAP) is to help bridge the gap between the many quality social service agencies in the St. Louis area and the families that need their help the most. To bridge this gap, their aim is to empower and to inform those that care for the children of St. Louis through their web site.
