Children who enter the foster care system are in need of caring adults to safeguard them. They deserve a strong child advocate to be their voice. If you are over 21 and can give 4-5 hours a month to visit a child, you can change a child’s life. You do not need a college degree, or a legal or social work background. The very best child advocates are people who care about children.
Dillon County residents who are concerned about child abuse victims can get involved now. The Dillon County Office of the Cass Elias McCarter Guardian ad Litem Program is offering a 30 hour training program at no cost. The next training class starts soon at the Guardian ad Litem Office, 200 S. 5th Ave Dillon SC 29536. Class schedules are flexible to meet the needs of any potential volunteers.
Contact Brian Mercer at the Dillon County Office, (843) 774-5973, today and learn more about how you can get involved. You can also get more information and download an application at www.dillon.scgal.org under the “become a VOLUNTEER” tab.
Be the person who positively changes a child’s life forever!
