Activism: the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change.
WHO WE ARE
Save Our Youth Nola was created in 2021 by two (2) youth advocates Roderick "Ricky" Joseph, and Eyshana "Shana" Webster, with a common goal, to see a better future for underserved youth throughout New Orleans, La. Offering youth mentorship, business consultation, athletic programs, event management, and connecting youth to employment. This initiative will address the issue we as a community are experiencing involving youth, and redefine what being youthful looks like, along with creating a brighter economic system for youth of New Orleans. The pandemic (COVID-19) traumatized the world and affected our kids mentally, separated them from friends and loved ones, and have been forced to transform digitally. Which added to the problem in many households. Collectively we focus on positive outcomes and provide affordable packages that cater to youth throughout New Orleans. We encourage you to take part in a better future for our youth.
