COURT ANGELS PROGRAM – VOLUNTEERS WANTED!
Guardian Angels are volunteers that serve as the Probate Court’s eyes and ears, by visiting with the person under guardianship as well as the guardian. Guardian Angels report their observations of the ward’s physical and emotional health, intellectual functioning, living situation, and relationship with the Guardian.
Guardian Angels receive initial training and ongoing support from the Court. The Probate Court is currently soliciting committed volunteers who want to make a difference. Anyone interested in becoming a Guardian Angel volunteer can call 937-498-7264 and speak to the Chief Deputy Clerk.
