Be a Voice in the Community: Talk to friends, coworkers, or local groups about our Volunteer and Foster programs. Word of mouth is powerful!

We have a waiting list of people that need a guardian. Now is the time to sign up to volunteer if you have been waiting.

Click Here for Program Brochure

Click Here for Via Center Webpage

A Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a Guardian is appointed by Mobile County Probate Court to make decisions for those incapacitated or unable to communicate decisions concerning their health or safety. The guardian does not handle any financial responsibilities. A Conservator is appointed by the court to handle these matters.

The Volunteer Guardian Program (VGP) is the last line of defense for vulnerable citizens - with no appropriate family or friends - against homelessness and worsening quality of life.  The VGP is administered by the Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center, and partners with the Mobile County Probate Court, the Mobile County Commission, the City of Mobile and community referral agencies.  Mobile County’s VGP was introduced by Probate Court Judge Don Davis in 2010, and the program remains the first and only of its kind in our state. 

The life-changing decisions Volunteer Guardians make for their wards impact basic needs (food and housing), medical treatments or care and end-of-life care.  Guardians attend court hearings, file paperwork, coordinate with other agencies to obtain needed services, shop or take  their ward shopping,  attend doctors’ appointments if needed and stay connected to ensure wards’ health and safety.

Since 2010, VGP has recruited, trained and matched hundreds of community volunteers to serve as Guardians for these special people. Currently, there are more than 65 amazing Volunteer Guardians active in the program.  They range in age from 21 to 65, and include college students, homemakers, nurses, pastors and preachers, Certified Nursing Assistants, social workers and even a retired FBI official. 

The Via Center is seeking caring and committed volunteers to become a part of the program.

What does it take to be a Volunteer Guardian?

We know that natural disasters happen, and it's not a matter of if they'll happen, but when they'll happen. And when they do happen, volunteers are needed in a hurry.

Sign up here to volunteer, not for a specific disaster, but to be the first to know when your assistance is needed following a disaster. You may also be notified from time to time of trainings that are available for disaster volunteers. Think of this as your opportunity to say that you're ready to help should action be necessary.

Join us for a vibrant and engaging program designed for adults with disabilities, where creativity, connection, and community come together! Each session offers a variety of fun and meaningful activities, including arts and crafts, music and dance, light exercise, educational opportunities, and social participation. We'll also explore the local community together through inclusive outings and shared experiences. This is a welcoming space where everyone is encouraged to express themselves, make new friends, and grow in confidence while having a great time!

* Important Note: please contact Director prior to arrival in case the program is traveling within the community that day.*
