First Witness Child Advocacy Center operates as a collaborative network of professionals—law enforcement, social workers, doctors, therapists, advocates, and prosecutors—who work together to investigate child abuse and coordinate the services families need. It provides child-centered, forensically sound interviews with children ages 12 and under who report sexual or severe physical abuse, conducted in a safe setting and captured in a single video-recorded session by a trained professional. The interview is viewed as the starting point of the process, not the end, and the organization offers in-depth advocacy and counseling for children and families to support subsequent steps.

Based in Duluth, Minnesota, the center functions within the civic and social sector and maintains a modest-sized staff. Its model centers on cross-agency collaboration to address child abuse cases comprehensively and connect families with the necessary resources. In early 2023, renovations were undertaken to expand capacity for a training center and a dedicated child advocacy center, reflecting ongoing development of its facilities to support its mission.
