Good for you! We need all the help we can get. I am a GAL in Tampa. I started as a volunteer and now work full time as a GAL. You may see and hear a lot of things you never wanted too, but when you see those kids, it is all worth it. Just to know that I am making a difference for them, makes it all worth while.

The amount of time you spend on a case is really up to you. It depends on the type of case you have and what is going on. You will have a supervisor that will guide you every step of the way. If you need a couple months off for having a baby that can be worked out. Don't wait...you are right, things will never calm down. Go for it, they have lots of people to help you.
