The Hudson Vicinage, part of the New Jersey Judiciary, is seeking Guardianship Monitoring Program (GMP) Volunteers.
Most guardians care for and protect their ward. However, the authority entrusted to guardians can create opportunities for abuse. The court system is devoted to eliminating those opportunities.
GMP volunteers track and report guardian actions. Volunteers review guardian reports, financial records, doctor certifications, and more. They compare the reports to original case files. This helps identify discrepancies that could signal abuse. In these instances, GMP volunteers file reports with the court. Typically, they go to the judge who originally heard the case. The reports will include recommendations for disciplinary actions.
GMP volunteers:
- Enter report data into an electronic system.
- Compare report data to case information.
- Identify errors or discrepancies.
- Report errors to the court.
- Make suggestions for follow-up.
Qualifications/experience:
- Must be at least 18 years old.
- Basic computer skills.
- Experience or interest in legal documents.
- Experience or interest in financial reporting.
Volunteers must:
- Be interviewed and accepted.
- Complete program-specific training.
- Pass a background check.
- Get fingerprinted.
- Accept and comply with the Code of Conduct.
- Live in New Jersey.
Time commitment:
GMP volunteers work remotely from home. Volunteers usually work six to twelve hours per month at any time that is convenient for them. Volunteers must commit to a minimum of one year of service.
