    Description

    Your commitment can make a world of difference to someone who lacks the support they deserve! Legal Guardians are appointed by the court to act as an advocate for a person who has been found to be incompetent. Responsibilities can include overseeing the individual’s welfare, making personal decisions on their behalf, and managing their assets. The work can be completed around your schedule and mileage is reimbursed at the federal rate for qualifying trips. The volunteer can be a guardian of person, or estate, or both. The volunteer will be matched with a ward that meets the desired type of guardianship. Once you are matched with an individual in need, you can start making a tangible impact in their life.
