Our Vision
Our vision is for all students to have the resources they need to achieve their optimum health and to reach their educational and live goals.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and educational outcomes for students by increasing equitable access to services.
OUR GUILDING PRINCIPLES
At The NOLA Network we work to address the disparities of access to healthcare and work towards creating an environment that is inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the diverse needs of all individuals. We strive to eliminate discriminatory practices, biases, and social determinants of health that contribute to inequities. Through collaboration with community partners, policy advocacy, education, and outreach, we aim to empower individuals to take control of their health and make informed decisions.
Our Commitments
Advocacy
Advocacy is the cornerstone of our program. We have created programs to assist with self-advocacy and also offer services to effectively advocate for families to develop health & educational equity.
Representation
We understand the importance of representation and respect; therefore we honor the diverse cultures, skills, experiences, experiences, and perspectives of our staff, individuals we meet, as well as the communities that we serve.
Access
Lack of access to services is as great of a barrier to achieving your best health and education as lack of awareness is. We work to improve access to services for individuals, families, and the entire community.
Collaboration
We deemed ourselves a Network, because from the beginning, we new that we were just a piece of the puzzle. We collaborate with individuals and organizations to improve community access to services.
Awareness
We recognize that without awareness, there will be no change. That's why we work diligently to create awareness for issues, support policy change, and increase sustainable and equitable solutions.
Integrity
We are committed to creating and maintaining a culture of honesty and transparency within our organization's
programming, decision-making, and financial practices. We will honor this as we serve our community and beyond.
