Melissa Bell and Tim Prout will join us and provide an overview of what a Guardian ad Litem is and what they do. How does a Guardian ad Litem support and advocate for children who are in juvenile court due to abuse and/or neglect? We will share information about how you can apply to become a Guardian ad Litem and the training required.

As of 5/19/2024, the District 31 Guardian ad Litem program is currently representing 207 children with 160 of those children being served by one of our 80 active Guardians ad Litem. There are 47 children in need of a Guardian ad Litem Volunteer.

We invite you to come and explore “The Forum,” an adult educational presentation and discussion group held both in person and online at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Winston-Salem each Sunday from 9:00 – 10:10 AM.

Topics include current events, books, travel, community action, careers, social issues and more. Each event usually begins with a presentation, followed by friendly and lively discussion.

Guests and visitors are welcome. Just show up ready to think, listen and participate as much or as little as you wish. Each week’s topic and presenter are generally announced 2-4 weeks in advance.

Gathering and informal conversation begins at 8:45am. The presentation/discussion begins at 9:00am.

To attend in person: 4055 Robinhood Road, Winston-Salem, in the Emerson Thoreau rooms. Enter the main doors, go left and continue down to the end of the hall.
