Our recruiters are out and about today with Board Member Lori Banks and our Community Outreach Director! 👋

249 children were served by 122 dedicated CASA Advocates, and 15 children found safe and permanent homes. But our work isn’t finished. 149 children are still waiting for an advocate to call their own.

You don’t have to be a lawyer or a social worker to make a difference. You simply have to be willing to show up, speak up, and be a consistent voice for a child who needs one.

Could you be the voice they’re waiting for? 💙

Next training begins October 8th!

We are incredibly grateful to Movement Mortgage and Mrs Kay Landry for their generosity and commitment to the children and families we serve! 💙

Last week, we were honored to receive a $10,000 GraceWorks grant, made possible through Movement Mortgage and the KM Foundation. This incredible investment will help Child Advocacy Services continue providing voice, healing, and security to children throughout our communities.

Thank you for believing in our mission, advocating for our work, and helping make this opportunity possible. Partnerships like these remind us just how powerful a community can be when we come together for children.

July was a busy month for our Children’s Advocacy Center💙

Behind every number is a child who was heard, supported, and surrounded by people committed to helping them heal.

Join us next week at the St. John Parish Library - Reserve Branch to learn how YOU can be a voice for a child by becoming a CASA Advocate! 💙
Your voice can make a lasting difference in the life of a child who needs an advocate. Come learn more about CASA, what advocates do, and how you can get involved.

We hope to see you there! 🫶

Learn how to make a difference in the lives of children by becoming a CASA volunteer. CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) are volunteers from the community who help abused and neglected children navigate through the Court system while they are in foster care.

School stability matters. 💙

For youth in foster care, changing schools can mean more than adjusting to a new classroom, it can mean new teachers, new friends, new routines, and another disruption during an already uncertain time.

CASA volunteers can be a consistent voice advocating for a child’s educational needs and helping ensure they don’t fall through the cracks.

You can help bridge the gap. Become a CASA volunteer and be the steady support a child deserves.

Did you know?

50% of youth in foster care don’t graduate from high school.

Behind that statistic are young people who deserve someone in their corner, someone to advocate for their needs, encourage them, and remind them that their future matters.

A CASA volunteer can be that person!

You don’t have to be a teacher, social worker, or attorney. You simply have to be willing to show up, speak up, and make a difference.

💙 Help bridge the gap. Become a CASA volunteer!
