I want the children of ALL backgrounds to feel safe being outside and not be afraid of being in touch with nature

LOOP NOLA's mission is to provide positive, life-changing outdoor experiences to children and youth in Greater New Orleans. We were founded to address the lack of opportunity for urban youth to experience the physical and mental health benefits of the outdoors and to develop a personal connection with nature. By experiencing outdoor activities in a safe and supportive environment, young people learn to push past perceived limitations and gain the confidence to reach for their lifelong goals.
