Abused and Neglected Children Need Advocates – Become a Guardian ad Litem

Over 1000 children in Pinellas County do not have a volunteer Guardian ad Litem.

As a Guardian ad Litem, you advocate in court and in the child welfare system for abused, abandoned, or neglected children. 

The Guardian ad Litem visits the child every month, becomes familiar with the child’s case, and makes recommendations to the court to help ensure the child has a safe, caring, and stable home.

No prior experience is necessary; you will be well trained and supported by an experienced supervisory and legal staff.

Once trained, volunteers spend an average of ten hours a month.
