The mission of the Guardian ad Litem Program (GAL) is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courts. Through quality volunteer representation for children in the child welfare system, we strive to provide each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home. We are for the Child.

The Florida GAL Program is a statewide agency that serves as a powerful voice for abused and neglected children. The Program staff partner with individuals in the community to be a voice for these children in court. Guardians ad Litem are your friends, neighbors and co-workers who make a difference in less than 8-10 hours per month. Guardians are trained and certified to serve as advocates. The Program also recruits pro bono attorneys. It is the GAL vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.
