Free Passes to State Parks for Foster Families

Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and Louisiana State Parks, along with the Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism (DCRT) and the Louisiana State Museum, are proud to announce a partnership with the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to recognize the work of foster parents and caregivers. As a show of gratitude, the new program provides eligible foster families a DCRT Foster Caregiver annual day-use pass, which allows the passholder, and those accompanying them, free dayuse entry to explore Louisiana’s 21 state parks, 14 state historic sites and nine state museums. “We recognize and appreciate the compassion foster caregivers have for welcoming a child into their home.Wewanttothankthemforthetimeandextraexpensestheyputinto helping these children have a happier, more successful future. Our office wants to be a positive part of that journey by providing a way for foster families to build lasting memories as they explore Louisiana’s state parks, historic sites, and museums,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “These day passes are an invitation for foster families to make memories and strengthen bonds while exploring the rich landscapes and cultural heritage of our beautiful state,” said DCFS Secretary David Matlock. “I’m grateful for this partnership with DCRT and the Lieutenant Governor’s support for our remarkable foster caregivers.” Caregivers are encouraged to reach out to their DCFS recruiter or the DCFS Home Development Program to receive their qualifying documentation. Eligible DCFS certified foster and relative/kin caregivers may now begin applying online for the annual pass on the Louisiana State Parks Foster Caregiver Pass webpage. One of two DCFS issued credentials, Form 406 Foster Caregiver Card or State Parks Pass for Relative/Kin Caregiver are required to complete the application. Once the applicant is verified to be in good standing with DCFS, a pass will be issued and mailed to the address provided in the application. The pass is valid for one year and can be renewed upon expiration.
