Voices For Children is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) created to help meet the unique and

often critical financial needs of the children assigned to the Guardian ad Litem (GAL)

Program. Additionally, we support the recruitment, training, and retention of Guardian

ad Litem volunteers.

Voices for Children is comprised of volunteers. 100% of the

funds raised by the organization provides support of our mission statement.

Through fundraising programs, donations and special events, Voices for Children provides financial support to the 3rd Circuit Guardian ad Litem office and the children and families they serve. The support received assists in providing the children with clothing, shoes, beds, books bags, school supplies, assistance with sporting activities/equipment, camp fees, counseling and much more. Voices for Children also provides support for volunteer recruitment and training.

The Florida Statewide Guardian ad Litem Program, which includes all twenty Circuits and sixty-seven counties, is leading the nation in its number of volunteers. However, the demand for volunteers continues to exceed resources.

Locally, there are hundreds of children involved with area dependency courts. More volunteers are needed to advocate for these children and raise funds for the GAL program.

Voices for Children conducts fundraising events in the seven counties of the 3rd Judicial Circuit: Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee and Taylor
