Even before the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, the educational system in New Orleans struggled. As the city has fought to come back to life, one organization has provided critical education support to New Orleans schools. New Orleans Outreach has matched dedicated teachers, administrators, community volunteers and parents willing to do whatever is necessary to improve public education for children in New Orleans.
The number of children that Outreach can help is limited only by funding. During the coming school year, the goal is to increase access to New Orleans Outreachs programs by 20 percent.
With a $40 donation, you can give a child a weeks worth of after-school programming. With a $1,200 donation, you can fund after-school programming for an entire year.
Help us improve the futures of New Orleans children. Share this video with everyone you know who cares about education. Even the smallest donations make a big impact.
In 2007, Operation Kids joined with Drew & Brittany Brees and "The Brees Dream Foundation to raise money for "Operation Kids: Rebuilding Dreams in New Orleans." The campaign's goal is to rebuild and restore academic programs, child care facilities, parks and playgrounds, athletic programs and mentoring opportunities for the children of New Orleans.
In two years, the campaign has raised more than $1.6 million dollars. In May, a start-studded concert, The Domino Effect, was produced to celebrate the success of the campaign and raise the last portion of the funding.
