Guardian Keepers of Children
Guardian Keepers of Children is a nonprofit organization 501(C)3 created by volunteers to promote awareness of the need for Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) volunteers in the Cabarrus & Rowan Counties and to provide comfort and support to the children in the foster care system
Guardian Ad Litem
In 1983, the North Carolina General Assembly established the Office of Guardian ad Litem Services as a division of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts. When a petition alleging abuse or neglect of a juvenile is filed in district court, the judge appoints a volunteer GAL advocate and an attorney to advocate for the child's best interest in court. Guardian Ad Litem’s are trained thoroughly, supervised, and supported by program staff in each county of the state.
