Every day thousands of children are abused, abandoned or neglected in our country. These children need a voice, and becoming a volunteer Guardian ad Litem is one of the best ways to help make a difference for our community’s most vulnerable citizens. Listen as Dr. Sandy McNeill-Finklin, the program’s volunteer coordinator, explains how anyone with an open heart and time to give can help these children. Hundreds of volunteers are needed. Requirements include a thorough background check, being age 21 or older and completion of a 30-hour training class. Barbara Van Voast , a South Florida interior designer, has been a Guardian ad Litem for two years and retired football great Roy Foster is about to start his training. You’ll hear both tell their stories and find out more about why and how you can volunteer for the Broward Guardian Ad Litem Program 17th Circuit.
