    Description

    Be the voice for a child in foster care. Become a volunteer Guardian ad Litem. As a GAL you will get to know a child in foster care, gather information from families, teachers, and professionals, make recommendations to the court in the child’s best interests and help ensure each child has a safe and permanent home.

    Our next training cycle begins on January 12th! There is no legal experience required. With a flexible schedule and only 3-5 hours a month you can change a child's story.
