CASA of SoLA (South Louisiana) A powerful voice for abused and neglected children in foster care within Lafayette, Acadia and Vermil

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are community based volunteers who provide a voice for abused and neglected children. CASA advocates serve children who have been removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Judges refer the cases of child abuse and neglect to CASA so that one volunteer can be the voice for that abused or neglected child. CASA volunteers consistently conduct at leas

t monthly in person visitation with the child. The CASA advocate's relationship with the child is based on consistency and the advocate ensures that the child is receiving the support and attention he or she needs while in foster care.

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.

At CASA of SoLA, we recognize that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. As we reflect on the significance of Juneteenth, we also reaffirm our commitment to advocating for children and families in our community and working toward a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

May we continue learning from our history, celebrating progress, and standing together in service of a more just and equitable tomorrow.

LGBTQ+ youth in foster care often face challenges such as discrimination, family rejection, and a lack of affirming support, which can lead to feelings of isolation and instability.

Like all children and youth in the child welfare system, they deserve safe, supportive, and nurturing environments where they are respected and valued. With the guidance of compassionate and affirming adults, LGBTQ+ youth can develop resilience, build healthy relationships, and achieve positive long-term outcomes.

By becoming an advocate, mentor, or supportive adult, you can help ensure every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Learn more at https://casaofsola.org/volunteer/.
