Orphanage Support Services Organization is excited to launch a new opportunity for alumni and other supporters to serve the children we care for: The Orphan Advocacy Program.
What is The Orphan Advocacy Program?
Our Orphan Advocacy program is similar to but replacing our Volunteer Representatives Program. This new initiative asks for more action — more advocacy for the orphans' needs.
We know of the power our volunteers, alumni, donors, and supporters have to help these precious children we love. Becoming an orphan advocate will help you to unleash that positive power to create change. As an orphan advocate, you will become part of a community and a campaign that will focus and align your talents and goals with Orphanage Support Services Organization’s mission to help orphans reach their potential.
Who can become an orphan advocate?
Anyone! Orphan advocates are volunteers, alumni, donors, sponsors, or other supporters who want to advocate for the children found in the orphanages OSSO serves. Anyone who wants to make a difference can become an orphan advocate.
What does an orphan advocate do?
There are a lot of simple and fun ways you can advocate for orphans. Follow our current Orphan Advocacy initiatives below and come up with your own creative ways to help as well.

How do I become an orphan advocate?
It's easy! Fill out this form on our website to become an orphan advocate. Even if you were previously a volunteer representative, please fill out this new form so we know you still want to be a part of this campaign.
If you are alumni, it doesn't matter how long it has been since you volunteered with Orphanage Support Services; you will never forget your experiences with the orphans you loved and cared for. You may not be able to return to Ecuador or Thailand, but you can still give the children your heart and your voice. A simple way you can do that is by becoming an Orphan Advocate.
