2022 Partner City

New Orleans

Aspen Challenge is partnering with New Schools for New Orleans (NSNO) for the 2021-2022 school year. NSNO’s mission is to deliver on the promise of excellent public schools for every child in New Orleans. To guide their work, NSNO has established a set of core values that they rely on to fulfill that mission. NSNO prioritizes work around race, equity, and inclusiveness within each of their priorities. They know that their pursuit of anti-racism and equity, both within their organization and outside it, is necessary and must be ongoing.

I challenge you to design a program that employs kindness interventions—both online and offline—in order to improve the collective mental health of our communities.
