InspireNOLA is excited to bring together New Orleans students, the community, and elected leaders to discuss their commitment to reducing gun violence, better school environments, and preparing students to be positive citizens in the community.
“NOLALove reflects InspireNOLA’s dedication to empowering students to reach their greatest potential and become the best versions of themselves as they grow throughout their schooling years," said Jamar McKneely, CEO of InspireNOLA. “We strive towards ensuring all of our students have access to the resources, skills, and support they need to make informed choices and become leaders who inspire positive change among their peers and within their communities.”
A response to the youth crisis in New Orleans, NOLALove advocates for services focused on academic success, family wellness, mental health, and community service to ensure a positive outcome for all students.
