The Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program is currently seeking volunteers to be ad-

vocates for abused, neglected or abandoned children whose cases are in the court system in

Citrus and Hernando counties.

A GAL is a trained volunteer appointed by the court to advocate on behalf of a

child. The GAL becomes familiar with the child's case and makes recommendations to help

ensure a safe, stable and permanent environment for the child.

"Around 600 children in Hernando and Citrus counties have been removed from

their homes due to abuse, abandonment or neglect. GAL volunteers make a profound dif-

ference in the life of these children by helping judges decide whether a child should be

reunited with his or her family, remain in foster care or in the worst of circumstances, placed

for adoption," said Marcia Hilty, Circuit Director of GAL Program for 5th Judicial Circuit.

"They make sure important services are provided. Simply put, a GAL volunteer makes sure

everyone does what is best for the child."

The next GAL volunteer training will be held February 5th & 6th, 2016 in Her-

nando County. All participants must complete application process prior to training. To be-
