WHO WE ARE

Alliance Institute is 501(c)(3) organization that provides community organizing training and technical assistance to non-profits and community based organizations in New Orleans and across the gulf south. With a primary goal of increasing economic and social justice through community engagement, Alliance Institute works to provide individuals, families, and organizations with the skills and tools they need to fully participate in the decision making processes that affect them in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

"Bounce Nation" Youth Engagement

Working with the New Orleans Bounce culture, the Alliance Institute’s BOUNCE NATION project will utilize indigenous aspects of the culture, such as concerts and theatrical presentations, as entry points toward introducing New Orleans youth to civic engagement as a way of establishing a voice for themselves and creating influence over the future of New Orleans.

"One Gulf, Resilient Gulf," a new report released by Oxfam America, the Gulf Coast Fund for Ecological Health and Community Renewal, the Gulf Restoration Network, the Alliance Institute, and more than 100 endorsing Gulf Coast and national organizations working on the response to the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, represents the broadest effort yet to create a detailed plan to restore the region devastated by the BP oil spill.

Response to BP Oil Drilling Disaster

In response to a lack of access to health care, Alliance Insitute is working with Louisiana Bayoukeepers, Louisiana Public Health Institute, and Jefferson Health Care Clinics to arrange for volunteer doctors from across the state of Louisiana to provide services to the residents of Barataria, Crown Point, and Lafitte. Currently, residents seeking health care have to travel to the clinic in Venice, LA. More Info

Encouraging Investment, Driving Wealth Creation, Growing Jobs for New Orleans

In preparing for their series of community meetings, the Neighborhood Retail Project team at the New Orleans Business Alliance reached out Alliance Institute for assistance in designing an agenda that would honor the community, its history, and needs, while providing information to assist them in their work. The Neighborhood Retail Project team is working to attract retail businesses to New Orleans’ neighborhoods as part of the city’s overall recovery.

Following their first two community meetings using the information and techniques provided by Alliance Institute the group informed us that “Most of our staff did not have a strong background in community engagement work, but after our session, we all felt more comfortable and confident in our abilities to manage and plan future meetings. Overall, our team benefitted greatly from our session with the Alliance Institute, and we hope to engage you in the future for this project and others.”

Alliance Institute looks forward to continuing to help improve the lives of New Orleans residents by assisting them in providing their voice to the decisions regarding the future of the city.
