The East Baton Rouge Parish Library is a community service organization that connects our citizens with information, resources, materials, technology, and experiences in order to make a positive difference in their lives.

The purpose of the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN) is to foster cooperation and communication between individual citizens and corporate and government organizations in an effort to assess and mend the environmental problems in Louisiana. LEAN's goal is the creation and maintenance of a cleaner and healthier environment for all of the inhabitants of this state.

Louisiana Sea Grant's mission is to generate and provide science-based information and tools that support the state. The program envisions resilient and sustainable coastal communities, economies, and ecosystems that are supported by engaged and informed public and decision-makers.

The mission of the LSU Food Pantry is to provide supplemental food to students in need who may experience hunger or food insecurity.

Food insecurity is a prevalent issue on college campuses nationwide that goes largely unaddressed. Some students may experience situational hunger or insecurity while others may demonstrate chronic hunger or insecurity and a need for continued support. Regardless of circumstances, no student should have to choose between food and other basic needs. The Food Pantry exists to help ease that choice and provide support.

A New Voice for our Community

We’re building a new kind of organization:

1. To develop relationships across the lines that have divided our community – the lines of race, political affiliation, denomination, geography.
2. To strengthen the leadership capacity and effectiveness of our community members.
3. To take action on concrete issues to improve our community’s quality of life.
