Mentor a Foster Child in Florida's Dependency Court System

You can help, take action, and make a difference in a child's

life by joining the Florida Guardian ad Litem Office team. No legal experience needed!

In Hillsborough County, there are more than 1,500 foster children who are currently in the Dependency System. If you have been considering ways that you could give back to your community then we would love to speak with you about mentoring the abused, abandoned, and neglected children we help represent.

Information Sessions are held weekly via Zoom. Once we receive your inquiry we will provide you with the Zoom log in information.

Although every child appointed to the Florida Guardian ad

Litem Office is assigned a Guardian ad Litem Attorney and a

child welfare professional, not every youth has a mentor on

their team. This is where you can help. Learn how to get

involved at www.guardianadlitem.org.
