The Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation exists to ensure that every child in foster care has the advocacy, stability, and opportunities they deserve. We support the Florida Guardian ad Litem Program—a statewide system where trained volunteers, child advocate managers, and attorneys work together to represent the best interests of children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect. This team walks alongside each child, giving them a voice in court and ensuring their physical, emotional, educational, and social needs are understood and championed.

As the Foundation, we strengthen this work by filling the gaps the system cannot. We provide resources and experiences that help children feel seen, supported, and celebrated—like clothing, personal necessities, tutoring, sports and extracurricular fees, summer camps, holiday support, and emergency needs. We also invest in the recruitment and retention of Guardian ad Litem volunteers, whose advocacy is essential to the wellbeing and stability of the children we serve.

Together, with our volunteers, donors, and community partners, we work to bring safety, dignity, and hope to the most vulnerable children across Northwest Florida.
