Sarah Hebert
Meet Sarah Hebert. Sarah has been married to her best friend, Kevin Hebert, for twelve years, and they’ve been inseparable for a total of sixteen. Together, they have two wonderful sons, Owen (8) and Everette (5), as well as a senior pup named Rio. She works as a Marine Services Analyst for a well-known marine company in Houma. In her free time, she enjoys all things sports and outdoors, cooking, coaching, volunteering, and spending time with family and friends.
A lifetime resident of Terrebonne Parish, she was born and raised in DuLarge, Louisiana. A fun fact about her is that she considers herself a lifetime student, having spent 26 of her 35 years in school between grade school and college. She proudly wears the “nerd” title as a badge of honor!
She began her CASA journey in early 2024 and, once sworn in, immediately took on her first case. That case has since closed, and she is now working on her second, totaling two cases and two children within the past year. While she had heard of CASA over the years, it wasn’t until a conversation with a coworker that she truly understood what the organization was all about. From that moment, she knew it was something she wanted to be part of.
Her monthly CASA routine includes at least one in-person contact visit with her assigned child, along with regular communication with DCFS workers and other key individuals involved in the case. She takes special care to acknowledge holidays, birthdays, and important milestones, often sending cards or small gifts to make her child feel seen and valued.
When it comes to court preparation and writing reports, she stays up to date by gathering the most accurate information from the child, foster parents, and DCFS workers. While this might sound daunting, she’s found that staying consistent with monthly visits makes the process feel much more manageable.
In her CASA journey so far, her proudest moment has been witnessing the growth and healing of a child who endured trauma that most can’t imagine. Moments like these reaffirm why she chose to become a CASA volunteer in the first place, because the transformation she sees in these children is truly priceless.
Her advice to anyone considering CASA is simple: if you think you don’t have the time or strength, you do. The time spent on a case is a small sacrifice compared to the powerful impact you can make. The support from the CASA office is incredible, and they are there every step of the way—so why not take the leap?
