But that's not allβ€”this program also includes professional development sessions, cultural immersion activities, and workshops to help them prepare for college and their future careers.

This is a rare paid opportunity for high school students in New Orleans to gain valuable work experience and get a head start on their professional journey. We are thrilled to support the vibrant creative industries in our city and look forward to seeing the incredible impact these talented students will make.
