Guardian ad Litem seeks volunteers
By Times Staff Writer
Published January 31, 2008
COUNTYWIDE Pinellas County's Guardian Ad Litem program will soon begin training volunteers to act as the courtroom voice for children who have been removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect. Guardian ad Litem volunteers visit the child once a month and make recommendations to help the child. Thirty hours of training are required, and guardians receive ongoing assistance. The next class starts Feb. 16 at Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg. To volunteer and arrange to attend a one hour orientation, call (727) 464-6528. For more information, a training schedule and an application go to www.guardianadlitem6.org .
