Fundraiser Story

At Nurturing Roots Parent Academy (NRPA), we believe real change starts at home - in the hearts of families, in the dreams of students, and in the power of parents to shape a better future.

In New Orleans, too many of our children are still being pushed out of classrooms and into pipelines that lead anywhere but success. NRPA was born from a simple but urgent belief: parents are the key to disrupting this cycle.

Through our parent empowerment workshops, student leadership programs, tutoring services, and educator trainings, we are planting seeds of hope, advocacy, and transformation across our city. We help parents become partners in education, not bystanders. We help students rediscover their brilliance and joy in learning. And we equip schools with tools to better serve and support every child - not just some.

But we can't do it alone.
On GiveNOLA Day, we're asking for your support to help us:

Expand free workshops for parents in underserved communities

Provide tutoring and leadership programs for students ages 10-17

Host trauma-informed training for teachers to better serve our kids

Fund advocacy campaigns to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline

Every dollar you give helps us grow deeper roots and reach higher branches.
When you invest in Nurturing Roots, you're investing in stronger families, thriving students, and a New Orleans where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.

Let's grow something powerful together. Give today. Root for change.
