Your gift powers advocacy in the 16th Judicial District

Gifts to CASA of the 16th JDC fund volunteer recruitment, training, and case support for children in foster care in St. Martin, Iberia, St. Mary Parishes, and nearby communities. Donations help cover volunteer resources, mileage support, and tools that move services forward for kids. Monthly sponsors sustain a child’s advocacy journey through court and school transitions.

Ways to give that fit your goals

Make a one-time gift online or set up monthly giving through Sponsor a Child to provide steady support all year. Local businesses can underwrite events or training sessions to reach more volunteers across Iberia, St. Martin, and St. Mary. If you prefer to mail a check, use our New Iberia office address on East Admiral Doyle Drive. You can also learn about events or become a volunteer if you want to pair giving with service.

How your donation helps children

Funding supports outreach to recruit new advocates, training classes, staff supervision, and essential items for children when needed. The result is more children with a consistent adult voice in court and quicker access to services like counseling or tutoring.
