Why Become a Guardian ad Litem?

Our guardians come from all ages and stages – single, married, working, retired, young and old. What they share in common is a desire to make a difference in the lives of children going through difficult circumstances. Each guardian can make their own determination about how many cases they want to work on at one time. Every guardian is supported by a staff supervisor of the Greenville County Guardian ad Litem Program, and guardians participate in a thorough training session prior to beginning to serve.

The term “making a difference” is so overused that it tends to lose its significance. Planting a tree makes a difference. Recycling your aluminum cans makes a difference. Advocating for children victimized by abuse and/or neglect is the ultimate “making a difference” undertaking.  Our work as Guardians ad Litem frequently and dramatically improves children’s lives.

All my time and effort is worth it each time we close a case that made a child’s life better. I thank God for bringing me to my role as a Guardian ad Litem.
