Welcome

Introduction

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are the Guardian Angels for Foster Children representing the University of Central Florida. We have embarked on a community project to help make a difference. We were taking the Cornerstone course for Business majors during the Spring 2009 semester. During this challenging project, we were able to share awareness about the program and the need for volunteers, as well as gather donations to help benefit the children that are enrolled in this program.


Altruism

We are helping the Florida Guardians Ad Litem Program, 9th Judicial Circuit - Osceola County. They are committed to helping children who are in foster care due to neglect or abuse. In some cases they are used in divorce proceedings. Guardians (or GALs) volunteer to help represent the child's best interest in the court system. Through donations, made to the non-profit organization Friends of Osceola Children Inc, they are able to help provide these children with things like clothing, toys, school supplies, toiletries, and gift cards that they can use to pay for personal products, school dance tickets, tutoring, ballet classes, etc.

Guardian Angels for Foster Children have pledged to raise funds and gather donations. Unfortunately, foster parents only receive about $12 a day per child, which barely covers the cost of food. With the donations received, these children are given a chance at a better life. Please, donate whatever amount you can... every bit helps.

Becoming a Piece of the Puzzle

Our team is also trying to reach out for more volunteers. There are over 600 children under the Osceola County office alone, and there is a big need for more volunteers. You can help change these children's lives. If you would like to become a Guardians Ad Litem volunteer, please follow the "Get Involved" link on the Navigation Bar at the top left side of the page.
