The youth of New Orleans must have the opportunity to express themselves. New Orleans is adopting progressive methods of early childhood and secondary education to improve the public schools. Students in grammar and high schools are gaining the ability to become active in their community. As a result Americans are relocating to New Orleans to volunteer, teach, and inspire postive change

Project Scope: Vision, Aim, & Objectives

For the cultural traditions of New Orleans to be preserved America must introduce the next generation of young people to the historical significance of the Crescent City.

The NOLA Preservation Society's programs provide inventive, creative, and positive extra curricular activities for young people.

Help or Additional Resources Needed

Materials needed (wish list):
Paints, brushes, drop cloths, sculpting wire, juggling pins, poetry notepads, hand drum(S), and members of the New Orleans artist community that enjoy making a positive difference in the lives of young people!
Help needed from other people:
Leading up to the youth performance on July 4th at the Colton School we will need members of the community to pass out promotional flyers. The event is free but we wish to pay individuals for their time to assist positive growth within the community. The better the attendance, the better the impact of the event, for the students and community members alike.
