CASA of Northeast Louisiana is actively seeking compassionate and dedicated individuals from Madison Parish to serve as volunteer advocates for children in foster care. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a volunteer-based program that serves eleven parishes across Northeast Louisiana, providing a voice for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
CASA volunteers are specially trained to advocate for the best interests of children involved in the child welfare system. Their primary goal is to help ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, permanent, and loving home.
While CASA of Northeast Louisiana has faithfully served the region for 26 years, the number of volunteers from Madison Parish has significantly declined. As a result, some local children currently in foster care are waiting for an advocate to be assigned. CASA is eager to find community members willing to step up and help close this gap.
Training classes are offered monthly, and CASA provides all the tools and support needed for volunteers to be successful.
Anyone interested in making a lasting impact in the life of a child in Madison Parish is encouraged to contact Erin Stokes at CASA of Northeast Louisiana by calling 318-398-0945 ext. 233 or emailing estokes@standforhope.org.
