- To partner with workforce development programs to educate a new generation of skilled laborers to maintain New Orleans’ historic architecture and preserve its traditional building crafts.
- To facilitate and promote children’s educational opportunities that foster awareness and ambassadorship for the historic preservation of the French Quarter.
- To provide demonstrations, tools, and resources to French Quarter stakeholders that directly yield value to the distinctive character of the French Quarter.
- To implement a strategic outreach and community engagement plan to increase the general public’s awareness of the economic and cultural significance of the preservation of the French Quarter.
