Florida Statewide Guardian ad Litem - Circuit 13

Florida Statewide Guardian ad Litem - Circuit 13 Representing Hillsborough County’s abused, neglected, and abandoned children. We continually need people to make this happen for the children in your community.

The Florida Guardian ad Litem Office represents Florida’s abused, abandoned, and neglected children in the courtroom and the community. Through the collaboration of a multi-disciplinary team that includes an attorney, a trained volunteer, and a certified child advocate manager, our team provides quality legal representation for the best interests of abused, neglected, and abandoned children while assisting the child in expressing their needs and wishes. Our unique approach allows us to support the whole child, addressing their physical, educational, mental, emotional, social, and legal needs.

The Florida Guardian ad Litem Office is dedicated to helping children find a safe, loving home where they can thrive. Often times, children are placed with relatives - which child welfare professionals refer to as kinship care. Kinship care preserves family bonds when parents are unable to care for their children. It allows children to maintain vital connections and sense of stability.

September is National Kinship Care Month. We want to celebrate the families who have opened their hearts and homes to these children who have needed them. We are proud to support these caregivers and the work they do every day to make a difference in a child's life.

🌟 With determination, dedication, and unwavering support, one teen is rewriting her future! 🌟
Child Advocate Manager Sharice Jean-Bart was assigned to help represent and support a teen. The teen, who was starting her senior year, felt anxious and overwhelmed, being a year behind due to past challenges and unsure if she could graduate on time.
Sharice sprang into action, providing reassurance and encouragement. Together, they met with the school, devised a plan, and the teen dove into it, working tirelessly and updating Sharice every step of the way. She dedicated herself to her assignments, often staying up late, never giving up despite the challenges. Sharice believed in her and helped her believe in herself.
When it came time for the standardized test necessary for her diploma, she missed passing by just two points. Though devastated, she didn’t give up. With Sharice's guidance, they worked on study strategies and tools to prepare for the next attempt. Sharice assured her that this setback didn’t define her future.
On her retake, she nailed it, earning her diploma and surpassing expectations. Everyone celebrated her achievement, with Sharice proudly by her side.
After graduation, they completed her college application together. They celebrated together when she got her acceptance letter. She's starting this semester. Sharice helped her secure a laptop from a local community partner so she can start with confidence.
With support, encouragement, and incredible determination, this teen has overcome every obstacle, moving confidently into her future with Sharice by her side.
