Capital Area CASA Association urgently needs caring adults from all backgrounds - especially more men - to advocate for abused and neglected children who are living in foster care.

The special attention a CASA volunteer devotes ensures that the case keeps moving toward a safe and permanent home for the child.

Find out how you can be a voice for an abused or neglected child while he or she awaits a safe and permanent home during one of the following information sessions.

All sessions are held at the CASA office, 848 Louisiana Ave., downtown Baton Rouge.
