2023 Partner City

New Orleans

Aspen Challenge is partnering with New Schools for New Orleans (NSNO) for the 2022-2023 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.
