Youth Rebuilding New Orleans (YRNO) is a brand that empowers the future by bringing together the youth of New Orleans to rebuild blighted neighborhoods. Unlike other non-profits that turned away young volunteers due to liability issues, YRNO is organized and directed by youth, determined to make a positive impact on the city's future. Our dedication to young people and education sets us apart from other volunteer organizations in New Orleans.

Since our inception following Hurricane Katrina, YRNO's mission has been to reduce blight by rebuilding distressed and foreclosed homes while actively engaging local youth in the recovery and rebirth of the New Orleans area. We believe in rebuilding the city one home at a time. Despite our exponential growth, our vision and founding principles have remained unchanged.

The team behind YRNO is made up of passionate individuals who are committed to making a difference. From our Executive Director, Prince Holmes, to our dedicated board members and construction staff, each member contributes to the success of our projects and the fulfillment of our mission. Join us in our mission to rebuild New Orleans and make a lasting impact on the lives of its residents.
