About Rethink

We are a group of students in New Orleans who want to rethink and rebuild our schools after Hurricane Katrina. Our vision is simple: a great education for every kid in our city, no matter the color of their skin, what neighborhood they stay in or how much money their parents make. No one deserves a voice in rebuilding New Orleans schools more than the students who go to these places every single day. That means us!

Rethinkers come from all over New Orleans. Most of us are middle schoolers, but we have high school interns and an eight year old “prethinker.” We are writers and photographers and designers and public speakers. We’re now in our sixth year rethinking New Orleans schools!
