On August 9, 2022, the Community Foundation of Acadiana awarded the Deputies Making a Change mentor program $10,000 to further their work in Ouachita Parish. For the past 10 years, DMAC has mentored thousands of students and produced interactive programs designed to address current events that plague our youth. DMAC is a one year program that offers each student a variety of structured lessons and most of all, a positive environment that allows a sense of growth and responsibility.
