Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a voice for CASA? Now is your chance at CASA of St. Landry-Evangeline at Epiphany Opelousas on August 28.

Why are CASAs important?

A CASA is a volunteer appointed by a judge to represent the interests of a child involved in a legal dispute, usually stemming from abuse or neglect. Their primary role? To make sure the child’s story is told and understood. Imagine being a child forced to navigate the complexities of the legal system alone. That’s where a CASA comes in – like a guide in a dark forest, providing light and direction. Come to Epiphany Opelousas An Episcopal Church on August 28th at 5:30 p.m. to learn more and find out what it takes to be a CASA volunteer and the critical impact you can have on youth in local foster care.

Whether you choose to become a CASA member or support their mission in another way, you can help make a difference in the world of a child in need.
