Everybody Deserves The Opportunity to Thrive

Yet our world’s broken systems, past hurts and personal setbacks, and systemic racism have left many in our city feeling stuck in a cycle of simply surviving.

If you, like us believe that all people were designed to thrive, we invite you to join us in our mission to help families, communities, and businesses across New Orleans to Thrive.

Relational Action: Collective Impact

We believe that progress moves at the speed of trust. That’s why, for the past 11 years we have been committed to building real relationships with the people and communities we have the privelege to know and serve.

The communities our staff serves are the same communities we call home. Our neighbors are not “clients” , but our families, church members, and friends.

We believe that holistic change and real community transformation takes place when we walk on our journey together, intentionally and relationally.

George's Story

Bravely Rebuilding a New Life Together

At the age of 17, George was wrongfully convicted of murdering his best friend. Even after his friends family pleaded with the court that he was innocent, George was sentenced to life in prison.

We met George several years ago, when, after 30 years in prison, he was released with the help of the New Orleans Innocence Project.

As our staff has built a relationship with George, we’ve had the opportunity to support him as he rebuilds a better life for himself and his loves ones.

Today, George is a proud graduate of Launch NOLA Green, where he further developed his skills as a business owner, and expanded his landscape business to incorporate Stormwater Management techniques.

Through our relationship with George, we were able to connect him with Thrive Housing to help provide an apartment with a yard to safely store his landscaping equipment. When not at a job site or his apartment, George can even be found helping out at Restoration Thrift from time to time.

George’s journey from suriving to thriving continues to inspire us as we continue to support him and others. We are grateful to get to serve neighbors and friends like him.

When You Invest in Thrive New Orleans, You Invest in The Lives of Local Leaders Like George.

Thrive New Orleans is one of the few nonprofits I know who empower those they serve through real relationships. They care deeply about each person they serve, and go above and beyond to support them holistically. And their intentional, relational approach has proven to create real, lasting impact on the individuals, families, businesses, and communities that Thrive serves. -Phyllis
