Welcome to The New Orleans Young
Urban Rebuilding Professionals Initiative!™
The mission of the NOLA YURP Initiative (NYI) was to build a support and resource network to connect, retain and attract young professionals from diverse backgrounds for a sustainable New Orleans.
This interactive website allowed users to create their own profiles, post jobs, create discussions, add to the community calender, add photos of New Orleans, and share files and media with other members.

Dear NOLA YURP members,
When we began the organization in the summer of 2007, we wanted to provide a network for young people to exchange job information and connect to each other across all race, class, and job sector backgrounds. At the time, there was no organization solely focused on making job connections for young professionals and working to attract new young residents to the city.
In order to best serve you and create an open and inclusive atmosphere, we have partnered with 504ward.com and Humidbeings.com to bring you WorkNOLA.com, which offers those looking to move to New Orleans, and those already here, a way to explore and apply for local job openings online. Please join and help get New Orleans working.
Thank you all for your support!
