CASA New Orleans

Serving Chalmette and the wider New Orleans area, CASA New Orleans is a community social services organization that advocates for children in foster care. Court Appointed Special Advocates volunteers support children from birth through age 18 and older, offering steady guidance and helping ensure each child's voice is heard during complex legal processes. The program serves children who have experienced abuse or neglect in Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes. Volunteers also help children work toward safe, permanent homes, including family reunification, guardianship, and adoption. CASA recruits, trains, and supports its advocates, with donations helping sustain that work. Community members can learn about volunteering or contribute through one-time and monthly gifts, and the organization also accepts stock donations and in-kind donations.
