Guardian ad Litem Foundation, 20th Judicial Circuit, Inc.

Mission Statement

Guardian Ad Litem Foundation-20th Judicial Circuit Inc. is a non-profit 501c3 agency supporting Florida's 20th Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry and Glades counties. Mission: to ensure that every child in the dependency court system in SW Florida is represented by a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) volunteer advocate. We strive to raise funds so: 1) every abused, neglected or abandoned child in Southwest Florida may be paired with a GAL volunteer advocate whose role is to represent the best interests of the child until a safe, permanent placement can be achieved; and 2) so every GAL volunteer may access financial assistance and resources on behalf of the child and not provided by any other source.
