This GiveNOLA Day, I’m raising funds for an organization that’s changing New Orleans from the ground up — by empowering young professionals to become the leaders our city needs: the Young Leadership Council (YLC). In a city known for its resilience, culture, and soul, YLC is investing in our most powerful resource — people. Specifically, young professionals who are passionate about giving back, solving problems, and building a stronger New Orleans for everyone.

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.
