NC Guardian ad Litem District 4

Juneteenth is a day to celebrate freedom while also remembering the struggles and resilience of Black Americans.

Why we celebrate: On June 19th, 1865, freedom finally arrived for the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in Texas. It was on this day, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, that the Union army arrived in Galveston to announce and enforce freedom in the Westernmost confederate state.

At the end of last week, we had the pleasure of swearing in 5 new GAL volunteers between Carteret and Craven counties. We are thankful for their willingness to give of their time to be an advocate for abused and neglected children. Currently in both counties we have 46 child-clients in need of an advocate to be their voice in court. Could you be who a child needs? To learn more please visit www.volunteerforgal.org.

Every child deserves someone to speak up for their best interests. 💙

By advocating for a child, you can make a lasting impact and help change the course of their future.
