THANK YOU, RAPIDES PARISH!
We would like to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming response to the Cenla Community Action Committee Inc.'s Rapides Road to Work Driver Education Program.

Today alone, we filled 80 appointment slots for the program. We are incredibly grateful for the community’s interest and support for this initiative.

At this time, all currently available appointment slots have been filled. We will now begin the process of working through the scheduled appointments and completing the eligibility review process for applicants.

While all current appointment slots have been filled, we are beginning a waitlist for families interested in being contacted should additional openings become available. To be added to this list, you must call the Rapides Road to Work appointment line at 318-314-3473.

Once eligibility determinations are completed, additional appointment opportunities may become available depending on program capacity and available funding.

We encourage families to continue following our page for future updates and announcements regarding possible additional appointment openings.

We truly appreciate your patience and support as we work to help local youth gain access to opportunities that promote independence, employment, and success.

Thank you again for your continued support!
