The mission of the Governor's Office for Children and Families (GOCF) is to build capacity in communities to improve outcomes for Georgia's children, youth and families. Through grants and technical assistance, we help communities implement "Caring Communities," a systematic approach to coordinating child prevention and intervention programs.
