LAPLACE — Child Advocacy Services is looking for volunteers for the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program.

A CASA volunteer is an everyday citizen 21 and older who provides a powerful voice and consistency for an abused and neglected child that is going through the foster care system.

CASA training for St. John the Baptist Parish volunteers begins at 5:30 p.m. February 6 at the Child Advocacy Services office, 2840 W. Airline Highway, Suite G in LaPlace.

Those interested are asked to call Krisy Rice at 225-647-2005 or email krice@childadv.net to sign up for the training or ask questions.

No special skills are required, but a CASA volunteer must make a sincere commitment because the duties are extremely important.
