I recently had the privilege of talking with Emily Mickley-Doyle who runs Sprout NOLA, one of the urban gardening organizations we plan to volunteer with this spring. Sprout NOLA works to develop a strong community of growers with both technical and social support. Emily and her team believe that a comprehensive solution to our nation's health crisis will involve access to low-cost food and dedicated growers to help make that possible.


When we visit Sprout NOLA this spring, we look forward to interviewing Emily in person, helping her paint signs for their gardens, and participating in one of their weekly farmers markets!

As college students in Boulder, CO, one of the most health-conscious cities in the nation, we do not have a realistic conception of the U.S. health crisis. Louisiana, on the other hand, has one of the highest rates of childhood obesity in America. We are eager to challenge our misguided perceptions of this issue and learn about the most common health-related problems that people face in New Orleans. Most importantly, we look forward to volunteering with impactful community service organizations dedicated to increasing healthy food access in New Orleans.
