Why support CASA Jefferson GALA?
EACH YEAR in Jefferson Parish, more than 200 children are placed in foster care under the jurisdiction of the Jefferson Parish Juvenile Court, because they were abused and or neglected in their own homes. The Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program of Jefferson Parish ensures that abused and or neglected children have what they need while in foster care and that each child has an opportunity to grow up in safe, nurturing and permanent home.
With an assigned CASA volunteer, a child is more likely to will spend significantly less time in the foster care system and is twice as likely to find a safe, permanent home. Children with a CASA volunteer have a voice in court – they have someone that steps up for them and ensures that their best interest is heard!
Join our fight to make sure that children don’t get lost in the complicated child welfare system. Your support can provide a champion for them, someone who makes sure their needs are met.
