Welcoming our New CASA Volunteers: October 2025

A Statewide Network of Volunteers for Children

Last month, CASA programs across Louisiana welcomed new volunteers who took the oath to advocate for children in foster care. These dedicated individuals completed their training and were officially sworn in by local judges, marking the beginning of their journey to make a lasting impact in a child’s life. Every CASA volunteer plays a vital role in ensuring children have a voice in court and a dedicated advocate by their side. If you’re ready to stand up for a child in need, now is the time to take the first step. Join us and become a CASA volunteer today! Click here to find your local CASA program.
