Alongside our role as Guardians, we offer a comprehensive range of educational and support services. We work tirelessly to connect individuals with the necessary resources to ensure they receive appropriate care in a safe and secure environment.
Imagine making a real difference in someone's life when they need it the most. There are individuals out there who have no one to turn to when it comes to important decisions. That's where you come in as a Guardian, appointed by Probate Court to be their advocate and decision maker. Your role is vital in ensuring their well-being and upholding their rights.
As a Guardian, you will establish a meaningful relationship with your ward, addressing their specific needs and concerns. You will make important medical decisions, always keeping their best interests at heart. Ensuring the best living conditions and protecting their rights will be your top priority. Above all, you will treat your ward with utmost dignity, respect, and value, affirming their worth and the importance of their life.
To prepare you for this rewarding journey, AGS offers comprehensive training opportunities. We believe in supporting our Guardians in their service to the community, and all our training programs are open to the public. We understand that many individuals in our community have taken on the responsibility of being a Guardian for their adult family members or others, and we are here to provide the necessary education and guidance.
If you're looking for additional ways to contribute, AGS also offers volunteer opportunities within our office and various events throughout the year. From training and promotional events to our heartwarming Holiday Gifts program in the fall, there are plenty of ways to make a positive impact.
For students seeking hands-on experience, we can offer supervised internships for those enrolled in higher education institutions. It's an excellent opportunity to gain valuable practical knowledge while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.
We are grateful for your compassion, respect, and desire to advocate for the marginalized. Your dedication as a Guardian will have a profound impact on the lives of individuals who rely on your support and care. Together, we can make a lasting difference in our community.
