Gain the high-demand skills you need to access clean, green career opportunities. Louisiana Green Corps builds a bridge between job seekers facing employment barriers and local employers.
Partnering with Louisiana Green Corps means investing in New Orleans’ skilled workforce. Our programs train local talent to strengthen and maintain our region’s infrastructure.
Part of the Solution
Our work centers on construction activities that mitigate extreme heat and flooding. Participants contribute to the installation and maintenance of green infrastructure, including rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable surfaces, which increase stormwater retention and reduce subsidence. They also expand the city’s tree canopy through urban forestry, a critical component of New Orleans’ commitment to plant 40,000 trees by 2030. These efforts lower neighborhood heat stress, improve air quality, and deliver measurable health benefits to the region’s residents.
Strengthening New Orleans
Louisiana Green Corps trains young local talent in solar energy, energy efficiency, and weatherization, ensuring our community withstands rising temperatures and intensifying storms.
