The 2nd Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem program is looking for strong male role models to work with our youth. The Guardian ad Litem program advocates for children who have been victims of abuse and neglect. These children are in desperate need of a stable strong adult to show them someone cares. The Guardian ad Litem advocate not only advocates for the best of interest of the child in the court and community, but they become a mentor and can be the person who changes the path of the child's life for the better.
