❤️ FIND YOUR FIVE ❤️

You probably know someone who would make an incredible CASA.

A friend. A coworker. A family member. Someone from your church. A teacher, coach, neighbor, or community leader.

This month, we’re asking you to Find Your Five; five people you can tell about the difference a CASA volunteer can make in the life of a child.

And maybe one of those five is you. ❤️

Our November CASA volunteer training class is coming up, and we’d love to help you take the next step toward changing a child’s story.

Visit www.casaofnela.org to complete an application or email volunteer@standforhope.org to learn more.

Find your five. Start a conversation. Change a child’s story.

Congratulations to our newest CASA Advocates who were recently sworn in by Judge Sharon Marchman! Seven new Advocates joined our team: Darrell Roberts, Matt Nappier, Tawanna Watkins, LaShanta Mire, Jacqueline Hardy, Mikayla Rider and Deborah Blanson!

We are so proud to celebrate the graduation of this incredible group of volunteers! Thank you for saying YES to children and committing your time, heart and voice to advocating for children in foster care. We are so grateful to each of you for stepping forward to change a child's story.

And now, we’re looking ahead to our next training class!

Our Find Your Five campaign is simple: think of five people in your life who might make a great CASA Advocate. Tell them about CASA. Start the conversation. Invite them to learn more. Just imagine what our next graduation could look like if each of us found our five! You never know which conversation could lead to the next incredible CASA Advocate.

Find your five and help us fill our next training class!

At CASA of Northeast Louisiana, we believe every child deserves more than a safe place to live . They deserve the opportunity to thrive. ❤️

That’s why we’re committed to excellence in advocacy and continuing to equip our CASA Advocates with the tools and training they need to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children.

We’re offering Child’s Wellbeing Assessment training for all CASA volunteers, giving Advocates additional tools to better understand and assess the needs of the children they serve.

Because when we truly understand a child’s needs, we can better speak up for them, support their well-being, and help ensure they have what every child deserves: a safe, permanent home where they can thrive.

We’re proud of our Advocates who continue to learn, grow and show up for children because excellence in advocacy can change a child’s story.

You can partner with us today. Join us as a CASA volunteer by applying at www.casaofnela.org or emailing volunteer@standforhope.org. There are training classes happening in October and November - now is the time!

❤️ They are waiting for someone like you.

Every child in foster care deserves a caring adult who will show up, speak up, and make sure their voice is heard.

CASA of Northeast Louisiana is looking for YOU. Our upcoming October and November advocate training classes are forming now, and we need five new advocates in EACH class!

You don’t have to be a superhero. You just have to be willing to make a difference. As a CASA volunteer, you’ll stand alongside a child, advocate for their best interests, and help change a child’s story.

Could you be one of our next five?

Sometimes, it takes hearing about CASA more than once before the time is right to say, “Yes, I can do this.”

Volunteering is a calling. And when the time is right, CASA needs people willing to answer that call. ❤️

Maybe your time is now.

Our next CASA volunteer training classes begin in September. Let this be the time you step forward, answer the call, and change a child’s life.

Apply today at www.casaofnela.org or email volunteer@standforhope.org.

🍎 Youth in foster care face unique challenges that often impact their education.

In fact, only 50% graduate high school by age 21, compared to the national average of 84%.

CASA volunteers help ensure that a child’s voice is heard in the school system and that they receive the support they need to succeed.

Training classes to become a volunteer start next month - will you join us and change a child's life?

School is back, and stability matters. ❤

For children to learn, grow, and thrive, they need consistency, support, and adults who will stand up for what they need. For children in foster care, that can make an even bigger difference.

A CASA volunteer can help change a child’s future by standing up for their needs right now; making sure their voice is heard, their needs are addressed, and they have the opportunity to succeed.

Our next CASA volunteer training classes begin next month, and we would love to have five more individuals ready to join us!

Could you be the person who helps change a child’s story? 💙

Apply at www.casaofnela.org or email Erin at volunteer@standforhope.org to learn more.

One child. One voice. One CASA can make a difference.

Recently, the CASA of Northeast Louisiana team had the opportunity to spend time in Tallulah supporting one of our newest CASA volunteers, Keona Isaac, and celebrating the incredible work she is doing through @ischyrosgeneration.

At CASA of Northeast Louisiana, we believe every child deserves a safe, stable, and hopeful future. Keona shares that same passion through Ischyros Generation, where she is dedicated to empowering and uplifting the next generation. While our organizations serve children in different ways, we are united by one powerful belief: our children deserve our very best efforts.

We are so grateful that Keona has chosen to become a CASA volunteer. Children in foster care need caring, consistent adults to stand beside them during one of the most difficult seasons of their lives, and volunteers like Keona make that possible.

The need is especially great in the Tallulah area. We are looking for more compassionate people who are willing to give just a few hours each month to advocate for a child in foster care. One caring adult can change the trajectory of a child's life.

Our next CASA volunteer training classes are beginning soon, and we'd love to help you learn more about becoming a voice for a child.

Apply today at www.casaofnela.org or email volunteer@standforhope.org for more information.

Thank you, Keona, for your heart, your leadership, and your unwavering commitment to the children and families of Madison Parish. We are honored to serve alongside you! ❤️💙
