2025 VASIA Symposium
Our team recently had the opportunity to attend the 2025 VASIA Symposium, where we connected with other programs from across Indiana. The symposium was an incredible opportunity to collaborate, share ideas, and learn from others who share our dedication to serving adults in need of support and advocacy.
Throughout the event, we participated in group activities, discussions, and learning sessions that highlighted the great work being done across the state. Hearing different perspectives and success stories from other programs was both inspiring and motivating.
We left the symposium with new insights, valuable resources, and a stronger sense of connection within the VASIA network. Experiences like this remind us how important teamwork and collaboration are in continuing to grow and strengthen our mission.
Celebrated Volunteer Appreciation Week!
At Guardian Advocates, Inc., our volunteers are the heart and soul of everything we do. During Volunteer Appreciation Week, we took a moment to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who dedicate your time, compassion, and energy to our mission.
Whether you are making phone calls to check in on our clients, attending in-person visits, advocating and coordinating with providers, or simply offering a kind word or listening ear—your efforts make a powerful difference. You are the reason many adults in vulnerable situations find safety, dignity, and the support they deserve.
To our volunteers across Howard, Cass, Fulton, Miami, Tipton, Delaware, Madison, and Grant counties: Thank you. You show up, speak up, and stand up for those who need it most. Your commitment does not go unnoticed, and your impact cannot be overstated.
We see you.
We value you.
And we appreciate you.
