$500,000 Awarded to Orleans Parish Summer Youth Programs

BCM, in partnership with United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA), has funded a total of $500,000 in Summer Impact Grants for summer program providers to expand and deepen services for children and youth ages 11 – 24 in New Orleans.

Grant amounts ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 each have been distributed to 37 organizations across Orleans Parish to broaden supports over the summer months, often a time of vulnerability for low-income youth. These grants will help providers to increase behavioral health supports, expand summer nutrition/meals, and connect youth with an educational, vocational, and/or employment setting when summer programming ends. Successful implementation will help close the achievement gap, reduce crime, improve health outcomes, and scale programs in locations where they are needed most.

To learn more about these summer program providers, and ask about volunteer opportunities, please see contact information listed for all 37 providers below.
