Too many children in the child welfare system lose their families, their rights and their hope.
Join our fight to make sure they donâÃÂÃÂt!
The Guardian Ad Litem Program advocates for the best interest of the children alleged to be abused, abandoned, or neglected who are involved in court proceedings. The program uses a team approach to advocate for the children, lay volunteers, child advocate coordinators, and attorneys. Together we collect comprehensive information about the child and family, attend staffings and hearings, and take steps to further the childâÃÂÃÂs best interests. Our volunteers visit the child monthly in the home environment and make recommendations to the court as to the childâÃÂÃÂs best interests, and inform the court of the childâÃÂÃÂs wishes. We also monitor the childâÃÂÃÂs safety and well-being, as well as significant changes in the parentsâÃÂàlives, which could impact the childâÃÂÃÂs safety.
