Partnership for Youth Development: I need a leader...

http://nolayouth.org/

In October 2010, New Orleans overwhelming voted for the complete overhaul of a broken New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD). As this overhaul moves forward with the selection of the first permanent leader of the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC) we at PYD feel it is vitally important to hear directly from our children and youth about what they need from the NORDC Chief Executive Officer.

With our community partners, we are asking New Orleans children and youth what they need from a leader and will be sharing their responses as the NORDC Chief Executive Officer final interview schedule moves forward. Every NORDC stakeholder agrees that creating exceptional service and opportunities for New Orleans children, youth and families is the ultimate goal of the Chief Executive Officer search so please help us reach this goal by sharing these direct pleas from youth to the adults who help shape their future.

Be on the look out for each new video and please share with your mailing lists to help publicize youth voice! As soon as the Search Committee provides a way for community members to submit questions to the candidates and the schedule for the final interviews we will pass on that information. We encourage all interested community members to attend the NORDC Chief Executive Director Search Committees' final candidate interviews and help make sure the needs expressed by youth are heard.
