South Carolina Vulnerable Adult Guardian ad Litem Program

We are seeking passionate volunteers to advocate for adults 18 and older with mental and/or physical impairments who have been placed into Adult Protective Services Emergency Protective Custody. These vulnerable adults are often victims of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and self-neglect. Your voice can make a difference in advocating for their well-being.

As a VAGAL volunteer, you will build relationships with the adults you support and provide unbiased recommendations to the court based on what is in their best interest.

Our VAGAL volunteers come from a wide range of professions and educational backgrounds. Some are retired, others are still working, but they all share a commitment to standing up for South Carolina's most vulnerable adults.

We serve all 46 counties in South Carolina and need volunteers throughout the state. This is a challenging yet incredibly rewarding volunteer opportunity. We look forward to hearing from you!
