Welcome to our website
Guardians of the Children is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization comprised of motorcycle enthusiasts that use motorcycles as tools to help children who have overcome child abuse, ages 0-17, become strong, confident, and courageous again. Once a child has made an outcry of abuse and the criteria for our support is met, that child is “adopted” into our family as a Little Guardian. Members of G.O.C will escort the child to court, attend school and social events at the child’s request, provide protection and support, and sponsor “Little Guardian” private events, yearly. The goal of these events is to provide a safe space where the Little Guardians can have fun, socialize with others that have experienced similar trauma, and forget for a moment about the fear, doubt, and insecurity that was forced upon them at such a young age. Every child has all the power and strength within themselves, just like a motorcycle on the open road, and the biker behind it, we just encourage them to unleash it as we fight their demons together.

ABOUT US
When you hear a Guardians of the Children member talk about our organization, it is most likely you will hear them say "we adopt kids into our family". But what does that mean? We don't legally adopt children, but once a child has been the victim of child abuse and there is a chance he or she may have to testify in court, we extend to them the opportunity to be part of our family.
If they accept our invitation, we do the following:
-Allow them to choose a road name, this helps maintain anonymity for their safety.
-We set up an adoption day. All of our background checked members attend.
-We all roll in on our bikes so they can hear the amount of support they have.
-They receive a vest with a Lil Guardian back patch and a Road Name patch.
-We give them other items, so they always have a piece of us
with them when they feel a little scared or need a reminder of the support they have.
Once they are part of the GOC family, they call their point of contact at any time.
We attend court dates to empower them to be brave in the face of their perpetrator. We provide opportunities for them to socialize with other little ones to give them a chance to be a kid and have fun by doing monthly events with them.
