Louisiana Opportunity Youth Alliance

Together, we’re building a future where all young people can contribute to and benefit from strong, connected communities.

Adolescence is a time of discovery, growth and connection, but some youth face steep climbs due to systemic barriers. When young people are plugged into work, school and community, they succeed. 

In Louisiana, nearly 1 in 6 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 are not plugged into work or school. We call this population Opportunity Youth. LOYAL serves as a partner on their journey, working to ensure Opportunity Youth have access to the relationships, resources and opportunities they need to find their footing and flourish.
