Advocates for children

More than 1,500 abused and neglected children in North Carolina go to court without someone to advocate just for them. Could you be a child's advocate in court? Could you speak up for their best interests? Could you work side by side with an attorney? Could you join 5,100 other volunteers in the state to say "I am for the child"?

If so, consider becoming a Guardian ad Litem advocate. A Guardian ad Litem advocate is a trained community volunteer who is appointed, along with a Guardian ad Litem attorney, by a district court judge to investigate and determine the needs of abused and neglected children petitioned into the court system by the Department of Social Services. Their role is mandated by the North Carolina court system.
