UMBRELLA Green Light New Orleans has partnered with the Urban Conservancy and Launch NOLA, for a project known as Umbrella, which provides residents in the Hoffman Triangle with more access to stormwater management tools. As part of the program, residents can have gutters installed at their home for no cost. They have access to rain barrels from Green Light, de-paving and other flood mitigation tools from the Urban Conservancy’s as well as job training from Launch NOLA. In addition to those measures, Green Light installs vegetable gardens and SOUL plants trees. |

St. Michael Special School The students at St. Michael Special School are among the most dedicated and hard-working volunteers Green Light New Orleans gets to work with. The students from the school, which teaches children with special education needs, have assisted Green Light’s rain barrel and garden programs. The students prime and paint the garden bed panels. Their artwork can be viewed on the garden bed panels at the Little Professor Day Care in Central City. |

Universities Green Light New Orleans works with universities all over the nation to educate students about stormwater management, healthy food access, sustainability and other environmental issues. Many of these partnerships are with local universities, including Tulane, Loyola and Xavier, but Green Light has also fostered close relationships with the University of North Texas, Calpoly, Ohio State University and Trinity University, each of which have worked with us during multiple Spring Breaks in recent years. These students have helped Green Light install rain barrels, light bulbs and vegetable gardens. |
