A starting place might be the page of child abuse related resources from Medline.

Harvard Psychology professor Jim Hopper has an extensive page of Child Abuse Statistics, Research, and Resources to help you be as informed as possible on the subject.

You can find a local chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America and find other advocacy resources on their site.

In your area, a committee report was issued in 1999 detailing work that at that time was currently being done. Of note though is the Committee members and the organizations they were then a part of:

Adults Saving Kids
Breaking Free
PRIDE
Project Offstreets
Catholic Charities
Also of note:
The Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault
and
Adults Saving Kids

Contacting one of these organizations might be a good first step to get involved with local work already being done, a quick Google search should get you current information. Let us know if you have a hard time finding contact info for any of these.
Thanks.
