DONATE TO YLC!

For nearly four decades, the Young Leadership Council has helped shape the future of New Orleans by developing engaged, empowered leaders who are deeply rooted in community. As YLC celebrates its 40th anniversary, I’m proud to support an organization that has invested so much in the people who make this city thrive.

I’m 39 years old and a long-time New Orleans resident. This city isn’t just where I live—it’s who I AM. I love our culture, our resilience, our neighborhoods, and the people who continually show up for one another. Organizations like YLC play a critical role in ensuring that the next generation of young professionals is prepared to lead with purpose, equity, and compassion, right here at home.

YLC’s work in leadership development and community empowerment strengthens not only individual members, but the entire city of New Orleans. As they mark 40 years of impact, I want to help ensure they’re here for the next 40—and beyond—continuing to cultivate leaders who care deeply about this city and are willing to give back.

I am STILL Proud to Call It Home and always will be. Thank you for joining me in supporting YLC and investing in the future leadership of New Orleans!
