Founded in 2003, Community Advocates for Family & Youth (CAFY) was established to minimize the impact the judicial had on children. CAFY build on the founder’s passion to help children who through no fault of their own had to provide testimony in the adult court.

Later, in 2005, when a public safety officer asked a volunteer at the Sexual Assault Center at the Prince George’s County Hospital if something could be done for the crime victims who were not receiving treatment at the hospital, CAFY’s victim services began. That volunteer was Arleen B. Joell, Founder and Executive Director of CAFY. The non-profit she formed in 2003 as a result of her passion and that encounter has evolved to the point that the organization was recently described by a highly respected County activist as a victim’s “social emergency room”.

Since gaining its official nonprofit incorporation in 2005, CAFY has been the only dedicated community-based victim service provider supporting PGPD. The nonprofit she formed started servicing sexual assault victims referred by the Prince George’s Police Department (PGPD). More than ten years later, CAFY serves all victims of crime and has been lauded by State and Local officials for the work done for the citizens of Prince George’s County. CAFY now serves Prince George’s County Police Department along with the Cities of Laurel, Greenbelt and Bowie Police Departments.
