CASA New Orleans

Since 1987, CASA New Orleans has served as Louisiana's first Court Appointed Special Advocates program. It supports children from birth through age 18 and older who are in foster care in Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes. Volunteers advocate for children affected by abuse or neglect, offering steady guidance and helping ensure their voices are heard through complex legal processes. The program works toward safe, permanent, nurturing homes, including family reunification, guardianship, and adoption. CASA New Orleans also recruits, trains, and supports volunteers, with donations helping sustain that work year-round. Community members can explore volunteer opportunities or contribute through one-time or monthly gifts and stock donations. The organization is based in New Orleans.
