  1. teachNOLA application information

    on January 22nd, 2013 at 8:26 pm

    teachNOLA seek the nation’s most outstanding mid- and post-career professional and recent college graduates to make a difference by raising student achievement as a teacher in public schools in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Jefferson Parish. No educational experience or coursework is necessary. Click here to learn more and apply!

    New Orleans’ public schools serve nearly 40,000 students, 90% of whom are African American and more than 80% of whom qualify for free or reduced lunch. In 2011, only 60% of African American graduated on time. These statistics underscore the need for effective teachers in every classroom in New Orleans and the sense of urgency with which we must work to ensure that all students achieve in the classroom and are set on a path to success at college and beyond.

    That’s where you come in. Educational inequity is a serious problem in Louisiana, but teachNOLA works in partnership with school districts to recruit and train recent graduates and career changers who may not have experience in education, but do have the leadership skill and passion necessary to teach students in high-need areas. We work to ensure that students in New Orleans have an excellent teacher every year that they’re in school so that they can become the next generation of doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, etc. We’re committed to making dreams come true.

    teachNOLA is now accepting applications and here are 3 ways to become involved:

    1. Join on of our upcoming info sessions to learn more about our Teaching Fellows program. To register, please see the info session times below.

    2. Refer potential candidates. Many outstanding applications come directly from referrals – community leaders, professionals, college students, family and friends spreading the word about this accelerated route to the classroom. A personal recommendation from you might be the encouragement someone needs to apply. For your convenience, we have created a link where you can put in referral contact information and we will follow up with them from there. Enter referrals on teachNOLA Refer-A-Fellow

    3. Connect with us on social media. We’re on FACEBOOK and TWITTER and we regularly add posts about our Fellows and the work we’re doing to close the achievement gap.

  6. Single Mingle!

    on May 4th, 2013 at 12:04 am

    You are invited to Single Mingle NOLA! This an invitation only event on Tuesday, May 14 from 6-8 pm at The Roux House (above Walk-On’s) for single, young professionals to meet new people. The event is based on the theory of six degrees of separation so the only catch is that you have to bring an eligible person of the opposite sex with you so that friends of friends can meet and the number of guys and girls stays even.

    Please find a friend, co-worker, neighbor, or relative you can invite and RSVP on the Single Mingle Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/SingleMingleNOLA. You are welcome to share this invite with others, but please remind them to follow the same rules and invite someone of the opposite sex!

    The cost is $20 per person and your first drink is on us. Details are as follows:

    WHO: Single, young professionals between 25-45 years of age who are employed, open to meeting new people and know of an eligible person of the opposite sex (friend,co-worker, sibling, cousin, etc.) that they can bring along for a fun evening.

    WHAT: Single Mingle is an invitation only happy hour intended to bring together accomplished individuals to socialize and meet new people who are interested in finding someone to get to know and perhaps eventually date…not just take home for a night. The only catch is that you must bring another eligible single of the opposite sex along with you to the event!

    WHEN: May 14th, 6-8 p.m., $20 per person (your first drink is on us!)

    WHERE: Roux House (above Walk-On’s) 1009 Poydras St, New Orleans

    WHY: Like you, we’re young professionals who work a ton and enjoy spending our free time with friends, not going to random bars with the hope we might meet someone interesting. We’re well connected, but often seem to run into the same people at work events or out with our same group of friends. We know our friends are also well connected and we want to broaden our social circles by meeting friends of our friends, and hopefully crossing paths with someone interesting to get to know and have fun with. We have so many friends in the same position, so we decided to host an invitation only mixer that will bring together the same number of men and women.

    We hope to see you at The Roux House on Tuesday, May 14th! Please email us at singleminglenola@gmail.com if you have any questions.
