In partnership with the East Baton Rouge School System, BRAC has created an internship program as a first step in its plan to increase the region’s young professional by 5%.
Currently the Capital Region experiences a negative net migration of young professionals, and BRAC believes this program will help businesses better connect with the future workforce by providing a work-based learning experience.
The interns are high-school seniors… enrolled at public high-schools throughout the parish. With the guidance of CEOs throughout the region, their curriculums have been enriched to build career awareness at an early age. Many are on course to accreditations in their fields of study.
See the one-sheet attachment below with additional information regarding this program.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana, the region’s largest donor and volunteer supported 1-to-1 mentoring network, has launched the Big Defender Fund. The endowment fund was seeded using an unprecedented $1.1 million individual donation from billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott and is a means to future-proof the organization following the pandemic and years of challenging weather events that disrupted critical services to at-risk youth.
The Big Defender Fund, a designated beneficiary fund created in partnership with the Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana, will provide BBBS of SWLA with a steady income stream to continually support their mission of creating and supporting impactful mentoring relationships that protect and nurture the potential of youth. The fund will also be used to expand youth safety practices and quality of match relationships, offer support services for parents and guardians, and provide innovative new mentoring programs that reach older youth and young adults.
