Amidst growing concerns in the New Orleans community regarding the COVID-19 virus, Young Leadership Council has suspended its 2020 YLC Wednesday at the Square concert series, in addition to postponing all in-person meetings and volunteer opportunities through April 17th.

We will update this page, as well as our social media channels, with updates regarding leadership development opportunities and community service projects during this period of social distancing.

How You Can Help

Donate to YLC

YLC’s nine community-service projects, in addition to its annual YLC Wednesday at the Square concert series, are funded through donations and sponsorships.

2020 was the fifteenth-anniversary season for YLC Wednesday at the Square. We encourage you to make a $15 donation today to help support our 2021 season and our projects.
