New Look and Bright Future

We’ve got big news to share:

Reconcile has a brand-new look and a bold new chapter ahead.

After 25 years of impacting lives through job training, mentorship, and community, we’re stepping into the future with a refreshed brand that matches the energy and hope of the young people we serve.

You’ll notice a new logo, new colors, and a fresh feel across everything we do. But don’t worry—our mission hasn’t changed. We’re still here to create powerful opportunities for young people in New Orleans. What’s new is how we’re showing up to do that work.

Our updated Mission, Vision, and Core Values honors our past – and leans boldly into the future for the next 25:  

Mission:
Reconcile New Orleans is innovating how workforce training is delivered. Through transformative experiences in our café and community, we nurture confidence and foster growth for young people.

Vision:
We are building a future where all young people have access and opportunity to reach their unique potential and become positive forces in our community.

Core Values (C.A.R.E.):

·        Collaboration

·        Access

·        Respect

·        Excellence

These values guide everything we do—from the training we provide to the relationships we build. They remind us that our work is about more than just connecting to jobs or earning credentials—it’s about empowering young people to reach their full potential.

This new brand reflects who we are today—and where we’re going next:

·        We’re still grounded in care, with values that guide us: Collaboration, Access, Respect, and Excellence.

·        We’re leading with purpose, making sure every young person has the chance to discover their strengths and follow their own path.

·        We’re building momentum, not just celebrating 25 years, but setting the stage for 25 more.

This new look was shaped by the voices of our community—our Interns, Alumni, staff, board, and supporters. Together, we imagined a Reconcile that’s brighter, bolder, and built to keep growing.

Over the year, you’ll see this brand come to life through stories, events, and new ways to connect. From family-style SUNdays at Reconcile to our new podcast and digital series, we’re putting the spotlight on what makes Reconcile so special: the people.

Thank you for being part of our journey so far. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
