Who We Are
Do you enjoy visiting and helping elder and/or disabled adults? Do you want to make a difference in someone's life? If you said yes, then become a Volunteer Guardian!
We will assist in training, and be a resource for information and support, then match you with an elder or disabled adult to become their legal guardian. Volunteer guardians play an important role in the life of an at-risk elderly or disabled adult. You will make important health, welfare and/or financial decisions and advocate for adults who can no longer make decisions for themselves. Your compassion and caring will provide a loving and nurturing relationship for both the at-risk adult and you. A volunteer guardian is appointed by the court after thorough screening and training. We provide on-going assistance to our volunteers to help them be successful.
You must be at least 21 years old, pass a background check and take and pass a free online course that is about 3 hours through the University of Wisconsin Green Bay. An E-mail address is helpful but not required. More information upon request. E-mail, Chris.king@kenoshacountywi.gov
¿Disfrutas visitar y ayudar a los adultos mayores y/o discapacitados? ¿Quieres hacer una diferencia en la vida de alguien? ¡Si dijo sí, convertirse en un Volunteer Guardian!
Te formarámos y entonces te emparejarámos con un adulto mayor o discapacitado para convertirse en su tutor legal. Tutores legales juegan un papel importante en la vida de un adulto mayor o discapacitado en peligro. Tomarás descisiones de salud y bienestar importantes y advocarás para los adultos que ya no pueden tomar decisiones por sí mismos. Tu compasión y cuidado proveerían una relación amorosa y nutritiva para ambos.
Un tutor legal es fijado por el tribunal después una investigación de antecedents y formación a fondo. Proveemos ayuda en Desarrollo a nuestros voluntarios para ayudarte ser existoso.
