Youth Force NOLA Connects Students and Employers to Build Louisiana’s Future Workforce

Youth Force NOLA steps into a critical space as schools across Louisiana shift toward stronger workforce development. Co-founder and president Kate Swinburne says the organization launched in 2015 to solve two big problems. Students felt unprepared for life after high school. Businesses struggled to find skilled talent. Youth Force NOLA now works as the matchmaker between motivated young people and the employers who need them.
