Southwest Florida's abused children have 30 days for the Guardian ad Litem Program to locate a trained child advocate. About 1/3 of children are still without an advocate's voice to help bring them a positive, permanent future.

Guardian ad Litem volunteers advocate for abused children locally, in court, the child welfare system and the community.

Volunteers must

• be at least 19 years old  (volunteering qualifies for FGCU & Edison student community service hours)
• have common sense and good judgment--no legal training is required
• pass a criminal background check
• be full-time Florida residents--many volunteers are frequent travelers!
• complete free training
