Greg Ravy and Laney Chouest - Heroes of New Orleans

What this episode covers

Whistle Monsta welcomes Heroes of New Orleans' Greg Ravy and Laney Chouest to the fan cave for Only Good Vibes News Network. Founded in 2016 by Algiers native Gregory Ravy, Heroes of New Orleans began with a simple but powerful mission: to give opportunities to disadvantaged youth and families in the community where Gregory was born and raised. Growing up on New Orleans' West Bank, Gregory witnessed the challenges facing underserved communities—limited access to quality programs, economic barriers, and systemic gaps that prevented talented young people from reaching their potential. He founded Heroes of New Orleans to change that reality. Since 2016, we've grown from a grassroots organization to a comprehensive community institution that has impacted over 10,000 families through stipend-paid programs, vital resources, and community initiatives. Today, we operate two locations serving thousands of youth and families annually with programs spanning STEM education, workforce development, entrepreneurship training, mental health support, and essential resource distribution. Heroes of New Orleans remains committed to bridging gaps and ensuring that underserved communities have sustainable resources and support—staying true to our founder's vision, that every young person deserves access to opportunities that help them build the future they deserve.
