Guardian ad Litem Program

Program Mission. “I am for the Child.”

Program Vision. The Florida Guardian ad Litem Program will continue to be a powerful and effective voice advocating for the best interests of Florida’s abused, abandoned and neglected children and be recognized and respected as a partnership of community advocates and professional staff. To the fullest extent possible, this vision will be realized through volunteers who will advocate as Guardians ad Litem for the children they serve.

As attorneys, we believe each child deserves an advocate, supported by the program, to give children a voice. The program is committed to the following core values:

Commitment to children- the children for whom we advocate are our most important priority.

Communication built on trust- the Program has a culture of open communication, active listening, teamwork, and regard for the views of others. This includes being honest and straightforward with the children we represent in keeping with their level of age and maturity.
