This week, we joined partners from the Big Easy Budget Coalition to speak before City Council about the importance of fully funding the Office of Youth and Families.⁠ ⁠ Our message was simple: Invest in our youth, invest in our future.⁠ ⁠ Every child in New Orleans deserves homes, schools, and communities that value their safety, growth, and well-being. The Office of Youth and Families is key to making that vision real, expanding after-school programs, workforce pathways, and family support networks that help young people thrive.⁠ ⁠ 🎬 And tonight, we’re keeping that energy going with our free #YJAM film screening and youth-led discussion! We can’t wait to see you all at Broadside, 7-9 pm!⁠ ⁠ #Community #BigEasyDeal #NOLA #YouthJustice #InvestInYouth
