Biz New Orleans: CBNO Launches $40K Community Initiative
Biz New Orleans staff use quotes from CBNO Executive Director Nellie Catzen and Common Ground USA Program Manager Krystal james to introduce the Front Porch Lab.
“New Orleans has no shortage of people who love this city and want to fix what’s broken in it. What’s often missing is the trust, the relationships, and the resources to do it together. That’s what the Front Porch Lab is for,” said Nellie Catzen, Executive Director, CBNO.
“Communities don’t become stronger simply because people care—they become stronger when people who see the world differently learn to work together toward a shared purpose. The Front Porch Lab creates that opportunity by equipping New Orleanians with the skills to navigate differences, build trust, and turn collaboration into meaningful action. We’re proud to partner with CBNO and the New Orleans Chamber Foundation to help strengthen the relationships that make lasting community change possible,”
