Free Volunteer Training Teaches Child Advocacy Skills


web posted September 30, 2008
PSA - COUNTY – The Edgefield County Volunteer Guardian ad Litem (GAL) Program teaches every day people to become positive, effective advocates for children living in foster care. The GAL volunteers advocate for children who have been abused or neglected and are now involved with the Family Court system. These dedicated volunteers provide hope, strength and support to children in desperate need of a caring adult in their lives.

Children entering the foster care system have their whole world turned upside down. Many times they are moved from their homes, their friends, their school, and sometimes even separated from their siblings.  Having a volunteer Guardian ad Litem assigned to them by a Family Court Judge gives them comfort, hope, and a voice in their future.

Our 30 hour training program, starting October 1, 2008, will teach you the skills you need to be a child advocate. You will learn about the far reaching effects that child abuse and neglect can inflict on a child, and what you can do to help a child recover from abuse and find a safe, permanent home.

For more information or to reserve a place in the class, please call Donna Lackey at (803) 637-9614. You may also visit http://McCormick.scgal.org for more information or an application.

The South Carolina Volunteer Guardian ad Litem Program is a member of National CASA. http://www.nationalcasa.org
