Welcome!
EngageNOLA
At EngageNOLA, we’re working together towards connecting community members to the local civic landscape through education and action initiatives. Our programs and activities are designed to create an empowered generation with sustained civic and political relationships implementing a citywide system of accountability. Learn more about the positive impact we have and join us in bringing about positive change.
Our Story
Established in 2009, at the close of the Ray Nagin administration, five years after Hurricane Katrina, and prior to the BP oil spill, EngageNOLA came together to implement a series of programs for community members from all parts of the city to learn more about the New Orleans mayoral candidates and other local elections. Over the next two to three years EngageNOLA convened additional gatherings, including Meet the Candidate events with Congressional and Lieutenant Governor candidates and meetings with the New Orleans Inspector General and other public offices, but the EngageNOLA leadership has since pursued independent activities, many of them subsequently assuming civic leadership position of various sorts and setting roots in the community.
​
Now, upon another mayoral election and at the end of the Mitch Landrieu administration, EngageNOLA leadership is reconvening to reinstate programs to enable community members to meet the candidates and learn about their priorities. Whatever new leadership assumes the reigns on the city’s tricentennial anniversary in 2018 will face great challenges and amazing opportunities; EngageNOLA views this as a pivotal time to provide opportunities for community members to learn about the candidates that will be elected to become the new leadership of our city.
