The future of our state (and the planet) are at stake, and you stepped up! We realize many great organizations are doing important work, and we are honored that you chose to support ours. Together we raised $26,121 from 175 donors – we are floored!

In these unprecedented times, the NextGen Summer Academy empowers young people living in “Cancer Alley” to recognize a wolf in sheep’s clothing and build a different future. ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, and Shell have billboards all over Louisiana with claims of helping our state, with a particular focus on education. We will not hand over young minds and hearts to these rapacious companies. Thank you for making the NextGen Summer Academy expansion possible… And thank you for standing with us!

With Gratitude,

Rene Ronquillo
Development Director
