A North Carolina Guardian ad Litem is a child's advocate in court. "Be a Voice for the Children in our Community"
Throughout North Carolina, the Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program seeks to serve the best interests of thousands of children who find themselves the subjects of court cases by assigning them Guardian ad Litem volunteers. A Guardian ad Litem advocate is a trained community volunteer who is appointed by a district court judge to investigate and determine the needs of abused and neglected children petit

Today NC Guardian ad Litem participated in ECU’s Social Work career fair. We met a lot of great young professionals who are graduating in May with their BSW and MSW. We discussed their internships and future plans. We met one young lady who is completing her internship in one of our districts currently ❤️ and many more who stated they would love to intern with us! Many are also interested in volunteering too!
District 2 (serving Beaufort, Hyde, Martin, Tyrrell & Washington counties) and District 3 (serving Pitt County) had a great time and we look forward to continuing to partner with East Carolina University!
Also….Go Pirates 💜 💛 as we too are both ECU graduates!

District 3 was honored (and surprised!) today to be recognized today by ECU Criminal Justice and Criminology Department Chair Dr. Heidi Bonner and Senior Teaching Instructor and Field Experience Director Richard Allsbrook for our partnership and collaboration.
We are very appreciative of the hardworking and professional student interns we have been able to introduce to the juvenile court system. We look forward to more GAL pirates in the future. 🏴☠️💜💛
