Xavier University of Louisiana nurtures the Roots of Our Youth as They RISE!

Our youth in the IMPACT504 Roots2Rise summer program team up with fellows from Xavier University of Louisiana and Stanford University at the Gumbo Garden where the helped clean out a raised garden bed where pumpkins will be planted. The pumpkins will be used in our 6th Annual BOO!Dat504 Halloween Extravaganza’s pumpkin decorating stations.

The garden provides free growing lessons and healthy foods to the Gert Town Community - a win for all!

Our youth use technology to research what, when , where, and how to plant!

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.

Applications closed!

We received 22 applications for 15 spots!

We look forward to a great summer!
