This GiveNOLA day I'm supporting the Young Leadership Council, an organization that empowers young professionals (like myself!) to lead community-driven projects that make New Orleans better for everyone. From Wednesdays at the Square to PowerTies, YLC creates impact across the city. My goal this year is to raise $500 to fuel this important work. Every dollar helps develop the next generation of leaders in New Orleans.

At the Young Leadership Council (YLC), we believe in the power of community-driven change. The Young Leadership Council is a non-profit, non-partisan civic organization created to develop and retain leadership through community projects.
