The Second Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program is hosting a training of interest to anyone wanting to volunteer as a guardian ad litem.
Join us for five evenings in June from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM at our offices on Thomasville Road for Volunteer Training: June 2015.
Guardians ad litem are citizens who volunteer to represent children before the court, social service agencies and the community. Under the supervision of program staff, volunteers devote approximately eight to ten hours per month on average. Volunteers also create relationships that can make a huge impact on children's lives.
To become a guardian ad litem, you must be at least twenty-one years old, pass a criminal background and complete a thirty-hour pre-service training program, which includes these classroom sessions, field work and independent study.
Young adults nineteen or twenty years old June become certified and are allowed to work under the guidance of and in partnership with a guardian ad litem twenty-one or above.
