Guardians Of The Children

What Guardians Of The Children does

Guardians of the Children (GOC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 and headquartered at PO Box 460412, San Antonio, Texas. It is a 100% volunteer-run organization comprised of motorcycle enthusiasts who use motorcycles as tools to support children ages 0-17 who have overcome child abuse. Once a child makes an outcry of abuse and meets the organization's criteria, that child is "adopted" into the organization as a "Little Guardian" and receives services including court escorts, attendance at school and social events at the child's request, protection and support, and yearly sponsorship of private events designed to provide safe socialization with peers who have experienced similar trauma. The organization operates through a distributed chapter network spanning at least 20 US states (including Texas, Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming) and 4 Canadian provinces (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba), coordinated by four regional ambassadors and supported by co-founders LT and Bamm Bamm. GOC has no technology products, no paid service offerings, no disclosed revenue, and no traditional ownership structure; funding flows entirely through PayPal donations and chapter merchandise sales processed via its gocnation.org website, with referral partnerships channeling children into the program through Children Advocacy Agencies and Victim Assistance Groups.
