Thrive New Orleans

Thrive New Orleans is committed to racial equity by advancing new systems for economic opportunity, climate resiliency, and community stability. Thrive focuses on three areas of impact: developing a skilled workforce, building the capacity of small businesses, and engaging youth and families.

Thrive New Orleans is a social enterprise on a mission for change.

Further, we stand as an innovative movement designed to economically, environmentally, and socially impact neighborhoods, communities, and cities potentially affected by environmental challenges through what we like to call our "economic engine"; providing lasting economic, environmental, and social changes throughout our city and the world.

We do this by cultivating thriving local economies through the advancement of new systems and resources designed for economic opportunity and development, while supporting community culture and stability, for the desire of sustainability and environmental resilience for all.

Testimonials

"I just came home from doing a few years in a penitentiary. It's like I can't keep a job. I get hired, [I'm] there for two or three weeks, then it comes down from the corporate that, with my background, I can't work there… I want to be a grown man. I want to be there for my kids. I want to set them an example. So, this program I found with Thrive really means a lot to me. I'm going to give 200%." - a Thrive Works Green cohort member
