Our kids. Our community. Our future. We are a community development organization that works in the Azalea Park neighborhood of the "Four Corners."

During the school year, we provide after school tutoring for the children in the neighborhood three days each week. During the summer, we partner with the city's Summer Youth Program to provide educational enrichment and to teach 8 character values that are essential for success in life. This fall, we intend to begin a sports program for the children in the neighborhood.

Last week New Hope was able to share tutoring opportunities with UL students at the annual job fair. We are looking forward to working with these enthusiastic college students.

This morning the Lafayette Elementary School Cafe volunteers got up early to greet the kids as they arrived at school. The kids respond so well to a little encouragement! “You’re looking good” “it’s gonna be a great day” “so glad you are here.”

New Hope works with several community partners to make this happen.

Kim Pastor Angie Lafayette Parish school Board and Kelsie from Girls on the run.

New Hope got to participate with back to school activities by joining the Lafayette Elementary Teachers in a bus parade. The teachers drove through the neighbor stopped and handed out snacks and school supplies. Many kids were so happy to see their teachers. There was so much excitement and anticipation for the new school year.

John and Kris were also able to present information from the LA Care network about trauma informed classrooms to the LES staff.

Thank you to Lafayette Elementary school for partnering with us!

During the summer without the pressure of school work we had a chance to work on a sewing project with some of our high school students. They all made a pair of pajama pants. This was a new experience for them. They were great listeners and were excited to learn a new skill.

Grateful for the opportunity to share Understanding Adversity and Building Resilience with the amazing staff and volunteers at Crossroads Church this week!

Kris and John Newman had the privilege of presenting on behalf of the LA CARE Network, part of the Louisiana Department of Health. We also had the chance to play the brain game with everyone — participants got to see firsthand how relational supports and adversity impact brain development. It really brings the science to life.

Thank you to Crossroads for welcoming us and for the work you do every day in our community. 💙

Want to give a BIG thank you to the 705 Federal Credit Union.

Last week they hosted our students for a tour and taught them about banking basics — savings, checking, loans, and how credit unions work. Our kids had a blast learning.

Afterward, they surprised each student with summer supplies like books, crayons, and coloring books.

We’re so grateful for community partners like 705 Federal Credit Union who pour into our kids. Thank you! 💚

New Hope Club Program! 🙌
Our guest speaker at our most recent club program was Hailey Williams of Handled by Haii Salon. She shared her journey from Northside High to salon owner, gave students a real look at life as a cosmetologist, and led a fun hands-on activity.

We loved seeing 5th–12th graders from across Lafayette explore career paths, ask great questions, and dig into some good food after. Big thanks to Hailey and to all the students who came out — we’ll see you at next month’s meeting!
