Community Outreach and Services

Community Outreach

I work closely with people like you each and every day.  My Community Outreach Division (COD) team engages and partners with a variety of educational, faith-based, civic, non-profit, and business entities to inform the community about the services her office provides and encourages their involvement. Attorneys, outreach representatives, and volunteers serve neighborhoods in every section of our Miami-Dade community.  COD members have participated in numerous community-based events and meetings, including domestic violence walks.  We support all victims and encourage them to report abuse. Our women’s centers and shelters stand ready to offer a variety of services and we provide a number of other programs that provide help, including:

  • Presentations to school children about making good choices, through the START (Stop, Think, Ask, React, Tell) Program
  • Bullying prevention presentations
  • Child ID Fingerprinting Program that helps families provide law enforcement with a valuable tool if their children go missing
  • Protect-Your-Vote presentations to educate people abou tthe many factors that could jeopardize their right to vote
  • Identity Theft/Scam Prevention presentations
  • Human Trafficking presentations
  • Youth Dating Violence Discussions 
  • "Second Chance" Program to facilitate the sealing and expunging of records
  • Food distribution events
