Be Loud was so excited to record at the FutureFest NOLA Youth Summit! Part of the #IAmNewOrleans project, FutureFest brought together a collective of speakers, creative leaders, and community organizations to provide the stories and tools needed to help students navigate their future. We set up a podcast studio and listened to youth talk about what it means to be from New Orleans.
In this episode, we meet Taylor and Roland from Covenant House, a local non-profit organization combating youth homelessness and human trafficking in New Orleans. Joined by Director of Community and Youth Engagement, Sheri Combs, they share how Covenant House represents not just shelter—but a foundation for transformation that promotes growth to ensure community growth.
