For those who want to learn more, here are the demographics of who we serve. However, what we really want you to know is that we have some beyond brilliant and amazing students who we see as more than just a statistic. In fact, our whole program is based on helping them to beat every statistic set against them. They forge their own paths.

If you want to invest in helping our youth beat those statistics too, please donate to our campaign for May 3rd to help make a difference. You can find our campaign page by clicking the link in our bio or visiting www.givenola.org/annas-place-nola
