Over the past two decades, they have developed a global network of grantee partners and a worldwide charitable infrastructure. They have also developed a depth of understanding and corresponding credibility in our field and are recognized as a leading organization in the fast-growing Sport for Development community. Since their inception, Laureus Sport for Good has directly invested over $150 million into youth-serving programs around the world — from South Africa to Hong Kong to Argentina. Laureus’s global network of foundations has collectively supported over 150 Sport for Good programs across 40 countries, reaching over 1 million youth. Last week we proudly welcomed their New Orleans and Chicago team into the Shop at the CAC to host a Town Hall and Panel. Here is a note and recap straight from Tiffany Aidoo from Laureus, who was our moderator for the panel: “First, shoutout to the orgs that were able to attend the Townhall yesterday. We had an incredible turnout and panel, which included our friends from [Girls on the Run New Orleans](https://www.gotrnola.org/), [Youth Run NOLA](http://youthrunnola.org/), [The Office of Councilmember Helena Moreno](https://council.nola.gov/councilmembers/helena-moreno/), and the [New Orleans Saints](https://www.neworleanssaints.com/) and [Pelicans](https://www.nba.com/pelicans). We also had special guests from [Sport for Good](https://www.nba.com/pelicans) Chicago. Let’s also not forget the 35+ organizations and individuals that showed up and made new connections! To recap, here are some key takeaways from our panelists:   ### **How to Work Best with Local Non-profits Using Sport: Amplifying the Well-being of a Young Person and Reducing Competition between Non-profits**   *Jon Lee, Youth Run NOLA & Julieanne Lund, Girls on the Run New Orleans* ⁃             Every young person needs something different every season of their life- one org cannot do this for a child’s entire life ⁃             EDs are friends and learning from one another, attending events, supporting one another. ⁃             Organizations encouraging youth to attend another SBYD organization because they’re ready for something new and exciting. ⁃             Covid created scarcity but we are not competitors and at the end of the day we must support the kids. Showing the community closeness has made them stronger. ⁃             It’s not about who is the best it’s about providing young people with the best experiences possible.   ### **External Partnerships with Government and Professional Teams: Building Sustainable Community Partnerships**   *Sherae Hunter, Office of Councilmember Helena Moreno & Sara Hayes, New Orleans Saints and Pelicans* ⁃             Not everyone can pay to play- we need nonprofits to support the traditional systems ⁃             Want to know who those orgs are – difficulty with parks and programming; resources lacking.  Want to highlight orgs and let the community know what’s available. ⁃             Sharing upcoming events/ ventures with City Council ⁃             From the Saints and Pelicans front office side of things; companies want a bigger community presence – the budget and want is there and then they can amplify ⁃             Spaces for people to come together and collaborate like this are really important. ### **Sport for Good 10-Year Campaign Ideas (Please submit your ideas— [HERE](https://shared.outlook.inky.com/link?domain=forms.gle&t=h.eJxNjbkSgjAURX-FSa0ESGSrsNCeUrpHFnYekwfjOI7_ruls7z1zzpsdbmZlwPp936jk3KJbKOxmw6Vu72NzrZubrWt4LDk7BWzyLOEM7qDdqP6scYFhVbhssA6G-Ng5JMKKetye6CbaQJnw9_MiU8oAtCoVbRYnAhIpjLJRGgstW5HzOM1lcYkjKcK08DHjY_tgLayvEAaNWM1wOHOQF3pCe-J_-3wBe8pD6A.MEUCICRawTer-IHuXFK0Roz7S6pPph6VvUpU1YOCMIK_4tXdAiEA5qvXw4AQ77EkH6PkQNgfHwWxG_CBeC36qgjGl7Y9SKw))**   ⁃             Highlighting the impact of alumni; tracking alumni and leveraging those stories (especially over 10 years); telling the story on a larger scale— 10 year report? ([First Tee of Greater New Orleans](https://firstteenola.org/)) Again, thank you for joining the first Townhall of the year. Looking forward to our next venture in Sport for Good New Orleans!   With gratitude, Tiffany”   [View full post](https://hub.shopworkspace.com/shop-workspace/2023/06/02/laureuss-sport-for-good-new-orleans) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "admin" }, "dateModified" : "2025-03-05T16:23:34.891Z", "datePublished" : "2023-06-02T20:00:13Z", "headline" : "The Shop Welcomes Laureus and Sport for Good to Discuss The Power of Sport for Youth", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 566, "url" : "https://7888928.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/7888928/Imported_Blog_Media/2.jpg", "width" : 596 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://hub.shopworkspace.com/shop-workspace/2023/06/02/laureuss-sport-for-good-new-orleans", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 60, "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4092/img/default-amp-logo.png", "width" : 60 }, "name" : "Shop Workspace" } } ```
