Our mission is to build a national museum in New Orleans, Louisiana to provide a place to honor those who perished in Hurricane Katrina, remember and learn from the catastrophe, and celebrate the strength of the survivors and those who came to help rebuild. In creating this international destination we will establish a system of apprenticeship and mentoring for the youth of New Orleans in the building and landscape trades, while using cutting-edge “green” technologies.

THE PROJECT

Our organization was started seven years ago immediately after Hurricane Katrina, with the idea of creating a Museum that will commemorate the lost lives due to the aftermath devastation from Hurricane Katrina. We have developed relationships and obtained across the board support for our concept. In creating this international destination we will establish educational programs, apprenticeship prospects, and mentoring opportunities for the youth of New Orleans within the building and landscapes trades.

Cutting-edge green-technologies will be utilized in the construction of our facility. “Our outreach efforts will extend across the local region to all economic and social levels; however, the design features along with museum culture attributes will establish our facility as an international destination with a draw of individuals from all over the world.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of volunteer professionals that have a genuine interest in assuring that the goals of the organization are realized and have expertise in non-profit community activities. The organization has experienced an enormous amount of interest and support from community individuals.
