Multi-Agency Resource Center

MARC, a collaborative effort between the Police Jury and the Calcasieu Parish Children and Youth Planning Board, is a place for area agencies and organizations to provide services, and referrals to these services, for area juveniles - all under one roof.

MARC’s goal is to divert at-risk youth, ages 6-17, from the juvenile justice system and into appropriate programs and services. The facility also reduces the length of time a juvenile must wait to have access to current community services - from several weeks to a matter of hours.
