Our history
Founded in 1978,
Child Enrichment, Inc. was established by a group of physicians, nurses, and social workers to address the lack of resources for abused children in the Augusta, Georgia, area. Our first service, an emergency shelter, provided immediate care for vulnerable children, and over time, we expanded our services to help children heal and rebuild their lives.
In 1986, we created the Augusta Child Advocacy Center to prevent re-victimization during abuse investigations. The two organizations merged in 1995, strengthening our ability to support the children we serve.
In 2017, we opened an office in Thomson, and in 2023, we celebrated the opening of a new state-of-the-art facility in Augusta, made possible through community support. This expansion enables us to serve more children and reduce wait times, ensuring timely access to critical services.
Today, Child Enrichment offers three core programs designed to meet the varied needs of abused children: the Child Advocacy Center, the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program, and our Prevention Services. We serve the Augusta Judicial Circuit (Richmond and Burke Counties), the Columbia Judicial Circuit (Columbia County), and the Toombs Judicial Circuit (McDuffie, Taliaferro, Lincoln, Glascock, Warren, and Wilkes Counties).
Child Enrichment remains dedicated to helping children heal and thrive, providing the care and support they need for a brighter future.
