Volunteers of America South Central Louisiana

Volunteers of America South Central Louisiana VOASCLA is a faith-based organization that serves those in need in 27 parishes.

We work to engage the energy and spirit of the people of Louisiana, to care for those who need help today & build healthier, more compassionate communities for tomorrow. Volunteers of America South Central Louisiana has been a steady organization in South Louisiana assisting people in need since 1921. Our organization serves individuals in the Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Central LA a

reas. We are here to support abused and neglected children, youth at risk, the elderly, families, people with chronic mental illness or developmental disabilities, the homeless and many more. We believe that meeting basic needs can be life-changing; that social programs don't have to be big, complicated, expensive or impersonal; and that human services are most effective when carried out in a spirit of kindness and caring. We recognize a deep human need to express faith through action — to carry out God's will that we love one another. Our mission brings people together in service in a variety of areas; as donors and volunteers and through churches, schools, businesses, service clubs, and other nonprofit organizations. Our vision is to engage the energy and spirit of the people of South Louisiana, to care for our neighbors who need help today, and to build healthier, more compassionate communities for tomorrow.

VOA's Partnerships in Child Care teams in the Lafayette and Lake Charles regions were delighted to fund initiatives aligned with our goals and the goals of the Louisiana Department of Education. They worked to increase language and literacy with a focus on parent engagement by purchasing books for The Pediatric Center of SWLA. The PICC teams also purchased packages of infant and toddler manipulatives and resources that were shipped directly to the child care centers we serve! The goal was to improve the environment and experiences in infant and toddler classrooms. The coaches for the respective centers assisted the teachers in setting up and implementing the materials into their classroom and daily routines.

These projects were made possible by generous donations made to the Louisiana School Readiness Tax Credit in 2025.
