Programs
Our programs bring people together to understand, discuss, and solve New Orleans’ challenges.
Leadership Forum
Our signature annual program, the Bryan Bell Metropolitan Leadership Forum brings together 50 emerging leaders each year for a deep-dive into the most pressing challenges our City faces; and empowers them to get involved!
Building Our Future
Our campaign to bring as much federal funding as possible home to New Orleans, and make sure it is distributed equitably.
Better Bus Stops
Our 2024 project in collaboration with the Regional Transportation Authority - a push to overhaul the City’s bus stops.
Civic Education
We host regular civic education events for the general public! Get to know CBNO, and a network of people working to make the City better at a monthly Changemaker happy hour, or check out our online resources.
Previous Projects
Civic Arts Challenge
As part of our inaugural Better New Orleans Block Party, we launched the 2024 Civic Arts Challenge: a grant opportunity for local artist teams to create an interactive piece around what you want our City to look like. Art brings people together! Thanks to the Rex Foundation for making this program possible.
