Washington County Department of Social Services, Maryland
Stephanie Andrews, who has been committed to the safety of children in Washington County, Maryland, for more than ten years consistently goes above and beyond her duties as a Child Protective Services Investigator to further the safety and well-being of children and families. Ms. Andrews, who volunteered her time and energy to write grant proposals for the Washington County Department of Social Services, achieved success in securing funding resources: a three-year $125,000 grant from Victims Of Crime Assistance (VOCA) and a $30,000 grant from the National Children's Alliance. Additionally, she proved instrumental in the creation of the Safeplace Child Advocacy Center in Washington County, which performs complete investigations of sex abuse and severe physical abuse in a child-friendly environment.
