Be a Guardian ad Litem

Children who enter the foster care system are in need of caring adults to speak up for them in Family Court. The Guardian ad Litem is a strong child advocate for children. If you are over 21 and can give 4-5 hours a month to visit a child, you can change a child’s life. You do not need a college degree, or a legal or social work background. The very best child advocates are people who care about children.

Berkeley County residents who are concerned about child abuse victims can get involved in July. The Berkeley office of the Cass Elias McCarter Guardian ad Litem Program is offering a 30 hour training program at no cost. The next training class starts July 19, 2016 and will be offered Tuesday evenings.

Contact Melonea Marek at the Berkeley County office, 843-719-4950 today and learn more about how you can get involved. You can also get more information and download an application at berkeley.scgal.org. Be the person who positively changes a child’s life forever!
