Mission Statement
The Volunteer Guardian Program is committed to maintaining the health, stability and emotional well being of adults under guardianship through the use of support, advocacy and volunteer education. Through this trusting, consistent relationship, we will enhance and empower the lives of those in our community.
Description
Under the leadership of Probate Judge, Elinore Marsh Stormer, Jewish Family Service recruits, screens and trains volunteer guardians to serve as caring advocates and surrogate decision makers. Volunteer Guardians do not have financial responsibility for the person, but may have to coordinate community resources when needed. By building a trusting, consistent relationship, Volunteer Guardians enhance and empower the lives of those in our community!
