Who we are
The Berkeley County Volunteer Guardian ad Litem Foundation is a 501c3 tax exempt organization that supports the children of our county who are placed under the legal care of the South Carolina Department of Social Services per the Family Court system. Each child is required to have a Volunteer Guardian ad Litem (GAL) assigned.
The Berkeley County GAL Foundation also sends foster children to summer camps and recognizes them on their birthdays with a gift card. The Foundation at times has stepped in to provide medical items when they are not provided by Medicaid. The Foundation also provides scholarships for GALs to attend mandatory training opportunities.
