Title
Proclamation In Recognition Of Guardian Ad Litem Volunteer Day, April 20, 2016.
Body
Staff Recommends: Presentation of Proclamation.
Explanation:
Studies have shown that children in the dependency system greatly benefit from a Guardian Ad Litem Volunteer who, not only serve as an advocate for a child’s best interest, but also serve as an educational surrogate.
There are over 700 Guardian Ad Litem volunteers in Broward County with 55 providing service in the City of Hollywood. The proclamation recognizes the volunteers and brings awareness to the program.
Recommended for inclusion on the agenda by:
Peter Bober, Mayor
