Legal Guardian

Your commitment can make a world of difference to someone who lacks the support they deserve! Often a family member or friend will take on guardianship, however, some people do not have relatives or friends available, willing, or able to take on these responsibilities and those people need your help. Outagamie County Volunteer Services recruits community members who are willing to take on these responsibilities and match them with a person in need. Instead of people being seen as a client of a company, they are seen as a person who has someone who cares. Guardians may be in charge of the person or estate or both and will be matched based on the volunteer's preference. You will make decisions regarding the person's well-being, health, and financial interests. Guardians are court appointed so this is a long term commitment. Mileage reimbursement is available at the federal rate and the work can be completed around your schedule. Once you are matched with an individual in need you can start making a tangible impact in their life. For more information, please email hhsvolunteers@outagamie.org. Visit our website: Guardianship.
