Child Advocacy Training

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.



Greenville County residents who are concerned about child abuse
victims can get involved next month. The Greenville 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 August 11th.



Contact Frances Santos at the Greenville County office,
467-5862, today and learn more about how you can get involved. You can
also get more information and download an application at www.greenville.scgal.org.
