Become a Volunteer Advocate
Volunteer Advocates play a crucial role in elevating a child’s voice during a pivotal moment in their life. By sharing your time and care, you can help ensure that children and youth navigating the legal system receive the support they deserve.

- Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Volunteers: CASA volunteers advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. As the CASA program for Marion County, Kids’ Voice trains and supports dedicated volunteers who ensure children’s best interests are represented in court. CASA volunteers receive extensive training and ongoing guidance from Kids’ Voice staff once assigned to a case. Learn more about becoming a CASA volunteer.
- Guardian ad Litem (GAL) Volunteers: GAL volunteers advocate for children involved in custody, guardianship, paternity, and adoption cases. During a time of uncertainty and family conflict, GALs build a connection with the child, gather important information, and advocate for what will help them thrive both in and out of the courtroom. No legal background is required. Learn more about becoming a GAL volunteer.
- Ambassador Team: Ambassadors are passionate advocates who raise awareness about Kids’ Voice and help expand our reach in the community. They support outreach efforts, help recruit new volunteers, and share the impact of our work at events and beyond. Sign up for an upcoming info session to learn more about how you can get involved as a Kids’ Voice Ambassador.
