Chi NOLA Connection

lly High School, Social Justice High School, Telpochcalli School, and George Washington High School. Our students are active in immigration rights, opposition to school closings and defunding, stopping the school to prison pipeline, fair trade, animal rights, and disaster relief to name a few. Our students play leadership roles in other social justice groups such as citywide VOYCE and Mikva Challenge and school clubs such as Students for Social Justice at Kelly. We emphasize student responsibility and leadership. When students participate in the trip over several years, they take on more and more of the planning and really direct the work of the trip. This intense week of experiential learning through service, interaction with activist students and adults, and self-reliance has changed the lives of many young people. Exponential growth is a frequent outcome. Many trip alumni have chosen to live, work, and study in New Orleans after graduating from high school. This page was created to unite alumni and supporters from the past 11 years of the trip, and to dream what the next years will bring. Together we are building a more beautiful and just world!
