Live Virtual Adventures
At Crescent City Youth Collective, our Live Virtual Adventures give kids and teens a space to talk, dream, and grow—together. While we love getting outside and connecting face-to-face, our virtual meetups keep the energy going between events.
Whether we’re chatting about life goals, culture, creativity, or community, these real-time sessions are where young voices are heard, friendships are built, and ideas come to life.
Real talk. Real connection. Even from a screen.
Outdoor Meetups
From park days, second-line walks, and dance parties to scavenger hunts and team games—our meetups bring youth together in real life to move, laugh, and build connections off the screen.
Local Exploration Adventures
Small group field trips to explore museums, cultural sites, festivals, and neighborhoods around New Orleans and nearby areas. These events encourage curiosity and pride in local roots.
Social Skill Builders
Games and guided activities (online and offline) to help youth practice conversation, teamwork, empathy, and confidence in a fun, low-pressure way.
Youth Service & Leadership Projects
Volunteer meetups or youth-led community ideas that promote leadership and pride in giving back.
