It appears that you may have to be an attorney since attorneys have to complete a course to work as guardian ad litems.

Quote:

A. In accordance with the Nebraska Juvenile Code, specifically Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-272(3), only a lawyer duly licensed by the Supreme Court of Nebraska may be appointed to serve as a guardian ad litem for a juvenile.
