There are four seasons in Baton Rouge: Football, Mardi Gras, Crawfish and Sneauxball! Whatever the season, you鈥檒l find us working alongside teachers and community partners to support students across the city.
While Baton Rouge is widely known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some students in Baton Rouge face significant challenges every day. East Baton Rouge (EBR) Parish is home to over 80,000 school-aged children.
I have been a part of 麻豆视频 for 14 years, and I plan to stay involved because I believe in the mission, the AmeriCorps members and the dedication of all who put their heart into this work.

As students start to head back to school full-time, our @AmeriCorps members are decorating bulletin boards!
This one is a friendly reminder to "Be a hero and fight COVID" by wearing their masks and washing hands often!
#humansofCYBR "I serve because I understand the desperate need for young people to have an equal opportunity to education in our country. Each day of service, I am reminded of my "Why". The value that I hold for the need for education helps to keep me grounded in decision making and reminds me that I am serving for a cause far greater than myself. Education is freedom and it is powerful."鉅赌
