INSPIRATION CENTER TO OPEN IN BATON ROUGE
Baton Rouge youth will soon have a new place to learn, play, and grow with the Inspiration Center, opening in January on Winbourne Avenue. Built at Howell Community Park, the center will combine technology, education, sports, and mentorship to support and guide local children. The project is led by the Baton Rouge Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Foundation. By providing a safe, engaging space, the Inspiration Center aims to empower young people, foster positive relationships, and encourage personal growth, helping Baton Rouge children reach their full potential in both education and life skills. ■ brpd.com

LIBRARIES BECOME LIFELINE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS For victims of domestic violence, access to protection just got easier in East Baton Rouge Parish. All 15 public library branches now serve as filing points for protective orders, allowing victims of abuse, stalking, or sexual assault to submit petitions without navigating courthouse security or hours. Temporary restraining orders can be signed within an hour, even after business hours, on weekends, or holidays. This initiative, a partnership between the 19th Judicial District Court, the library system, Clerk of Court, and local nonprofits, provides a safe, accessible, and timely path to justice for those who need it most. ■ 19thjdc.org
