root 2 rise summer youth program: june 30th - august 8th
What is our Root 2 Rise Summer Youth Program?
Root to Rise is a 6-week free summer youth program for New Orleans students in grades 6 - 10, designed to build real skills, real confidence, and real community.
As an extension of our existing youth program, we created a space where young people are challenged to think like entrepreneurs, grow their own food, care for their bodies, and develop the life tools they need to step boldly into their future.
- Every session is intentional.
- Every participant is valued.
- Every day is an investment in who these young people are becoming.
The Tentative Schedule is Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays 10:00 am - 2:30 pm
The final calendar (including holidays) will be released on the first day of the program.
