NOLA YURP

The mission of the NOLA YURP Initiative (NYI) is to build a support and resource network to connect, retain and attract young professionals from diverse backgrounds for a sustainable New Orleans. In March 2007, Molly Reid, staff writer for the Times-Picayune, wrote an article about what she called "Young Urban Rebuilding Professionals." Thousands of young people had moved to New Orleans to help with the relief effort and needed a way to connect with the locals who were doing their own rebuilding. The mission of the NOLA YURP Initiative is to build a support and resource network to connect, retain and attract young professionals from diverse backgrounds for a sustainable New Orleans. For New Orleans to rebuild itself, we must invest in the people that will be here in the future. Join the Network, Think about moving to New Orleans, where you can be the change you were looking for. Where all your innovative ideas and creative juices can be nurtured and given room to be.
