The Reengagement Center (REC) is a free resource center for New Orleans youth ages 16-24.

The transition to adulthood is a critical period where young people gain the skills and knowledge they need to become independent and healthy adults. We build relationships and help young people identify their interests and realize their goals.

Create the life you want.

All young people deserve to develop core skills to manage school, work, social relationships, and everything else that makes them who they are. We are a judgment-free space for growth, healing, and hope.
