CASA OF ST LANDRY-EVANGELINE INC

OPELOUSAS, LA
|
www.casastlandry.org

    • Mission

    CASA of St. Landry-Evangeline, Inc. supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive.

    About Us

    A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer, specially trained and supervised, is appointed by a judge to speak up for a child in foster care. CASA volunteers help secure safe and permanent homes for abused and neglected children by advocating, investigating, and monitoring cases involving children in foster care.

    Who Is CASA?

    CASA volunteers are people like you. They’re teachers, business people, retirees, stay-at-home moms, grandparents, college students; extraordinary people who want to make certain the voices of abused and neglected children are heard.

    What Do CASAs Do?

    CASA volunteers get to know the child and speak to everyone involved in the child’s life, including their family members, teachers, doctors, lawyers, social workers, and others.

    The information they gather and their recommendations help the court make informed decisions. CASA volunteers commit to a child until the case is closed and the child is in a safe, permanent home.
