15 people can help close the gap!

Cleveland County GAL is currently representing 170 children in foster care in Cleveland County. 34 children, 20%, do not have a GAL Volunteer assigned to them. While these children are still seen and advocated for by staff, it is not to the level that a volunteer is able to do. To help close this gap, we need 15 people to join out February training.
