Friends_Logo_ColorWelcome Friends!

The Friends of Wake County Guardian ad Litem Program is a volunteer 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization created in 1991 to support the work of the Wake County Guardian ad Litem program and the children they represent. 

Our mission is to enhance the lives of at-risk children and their caregivers through programs which promote their physical, educational, and emotional well-being, and to provide support for the Wake County GAL program. 

Our vision is to be an integral resource for the children and caregivers served by the Wake County GAL program for needs not met by other resources. 

The Friends accomplish our work by providing enrichment opportunity funds for children and unmet basic needs of identified families. The target population includes: children in foster care, out of home kinship placements and families working hard to break the poverty cycle.

We launched this website to help us provide the best resources for children in need and to support the Wake County Guardians ad Litem program. A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) volunteer is a court appointed special advocate – a trained community volunteer who speaks for abused and neglected children during judicial proceedings.
