Baton Rouge ‘Security Dads’ Program Seeks New Volunteers After Decades of Mentorship

Lafayette, IN, September 21, 2026 —

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a volunteer program known as the ‘Security Dads’ is reaching out for new members to sustain its long-standing commitment to mentoring students at Glen Oaks High School. Established in 1993, the initiative has spent decades providing guidance and a positive adult presence for the school’s student body.

The ‘Security Dads’ program was founded with the goal of offering support and mentorship to students. For over thirty years, members have dedicated their time to this mission. However, the current group of volunteers is aging, prompting them to seek individuals willing to step in and continue the program’s legacy.

The specific activities and the number of students served by the ‘Security Dads’ program over the years were not detailed. Similarly, information regarding the current number of active volunteers or the exact timeline for the transition of leadership was not provided. The primary objective stated by the group is to ensure that students at Glen Oaks High School continue to receive mentorship and support.

The call for new volunteers highlights a common challenge faced by established community programs: the need for ongoing engagement from new generations. The ‘Security Dads’ are looking for individuals who can commit to mentoring students and contributing to a positive environment within the school community. Further details on how to volunteer or the specific requirements for participation were not immediately available.
