Cole Judge is this week's 'New Orleans cultural rock star' on the 504Ward.com Web site! Cole was one of our super volunteers during Historic Green last March. As an AmeriCorps volunteer, she came to us through the Center for Bioenvironmental Research (CBR) at Tulane University and assisted both CSED and Historic Green in organizing the event.
504Ward.com is a new initiative designed to help young talent in New Orleans meet, learn, explore, connect and grow. Put simply: 504Ward's mission is to keep twenty and thirty-somethings living, working and helping to improve New Orleans. That includes the waves of students and young professionals who came to the city after Katrina to help her rebuild. Like the Web site says:
"For the first time in its storied history, New Orleans is saturated with talented networks of young people, who have followed the road less traveled all the way to the Crescent City. In what has become an incubator for innovation and intellectualism, New Orleans is watching the development of a generation of leaders, who will pay dividends to their country for generations to come."
There, you can also check out 504ward’s $100,000 Business Competition launched with The Idea Village to support entrepreneurs with business ideas that retain and engage the 23 – 35 year old demographic in New Orleans.
