CASA of the 16th JDC Inc. CASAs are trained volunteers appointed by a judge to represent the best interest of a child in court.

CASA in Louisiana

The first CASA program in Louisiana began in 1986 in Orleans Parish. Currently there are 18 programs serving 55 parishes in Louisiana. In 2012 1,789 dedicated volunteers served 3,480 children, donating service hours valued at $1.8 million. Louisiana CASA Association (LACASA) grew out of an informal association of CASA program directors throughout the state. In 1994, LACASA was incorporated as a private 501(c)(3) organization. Membership is open to all CASA programs active in Louisiana that are members of National CASA. Membership categories include CASA volunteer, individual, associate, CASA program and honorary. All existing CASA programs are members of NCASAA and LACASA, and participate in the organization’s activities.

Court statistics show that children are present during domestic or intimate partner violence incidents in 36% of cases; of those children who were present, 60% directly witnessed the violence. Having a stable relationship with a supportive adult can help children heal and thrive, even they have faced significant hardships. You can be that adult for a child in our community.

October is Bullying Prevention Month, a reminder that every child deserves to feel safe at home, in school, and in their community.

Children who experience abuse or neglect may also face bullying from their peers, compounding the challenges they already endure. CASA volunteers stand with children, giving them a voice in court and advocating for their best interests. Together, we can help children heal and thrive.

Children who grow up around domestic violence can believe it is normal and often repeat the cycle of violence in their own adult lives. The support of a CASA volunteer can help children build resilience to counter these reoccurring cycles.

This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we join in raising awareness and sharing resources for families in need. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call 1-888-411-1333 or visit lcadv.org. Be part of the solution.
