Building more than a building.

The Campaign to Expand and Equip
New Orleans Career Center

An opportunity awaits.

Thanks to public funding, an unoccupied school is being transformed into our new home. Here – with your help – we will build on our success educating public school students and young adults. The new NOCC will triple the overall number of technical training seats available, enhance existing programs, and make room for new instructional pathways in Skilled Crafts and Digi/IT. To realize this vision, we are seeking support to equip New Orleans Career Center and build out our pathways.

Invest in transformative change. With your help, the new NOCC will provide more
