2025-2026 Baton Rouge Partner Organizations

The Baton Rouge Bar Foundation Pro Bono Project is dedicated to improving equal access to justice for all and has been making meaningful change in people's lives since 1986.

Our Mission is creating a safe space for youth to realize their intrinsic worth, while we help them learn, grow, and build!

The heart of our organization is motivated by compassion for kids from low-income families that are willing to work for a better community. We hope to impact the youth of Baton Rouge one bike at a time, one heart at a time, because the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

The mission of Grace House of Baton Rouge, Inc. is to provide housing and essential healthcare services to individuals with disabilities and those underserved. We aim to empower them to achieve wholeness, stability, and a renewed way of living, enabling them to embrace their future responsibilities. Our vision is for participants in our program to persevere, regardless of challenges, as they receive the care necessary for a second chance at a better quality of life.

SADD is a national organization that was founded in 1981. Originally, the mission was to help young people say "No" to drinking and driving. Today, the mission has expanded. For years research has shown that positive peer pressure, role modeling and environmental strategies can prevent destructive decisions and set a healthier, safer course for students' lives.

That is why SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) has become the nation's premier youth health and safety organization. SADD is dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen suicide.

LWF is an affiliate organization of the National Wildlife Federation and together we form a powerful network for wildlife conservation locally and nationally.

Our principles include:
•Conserve Louisiana’s natural resources with an emphasis on wildlife and their habitats

• Engage outdoor enthusiasts through education and advocacy
