What is CIPA-NOLA?
The CIPA-New Orleans Professional Partnership contains five components that will enable CIPA fellows to provide needed assistance to the rebuilding efforts in St. Bernard Parish and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina while developing graduate-level public administration and policy skills. The components of the partnership include the New Orleans Discussion Group series in the fall, a classroom-based consulting project opportunity, an annual Spring Break service trip to St. Bernard Parish, a summer internship opportunity, and for fellows demonstrating extraordinary commitment, writing a thesis/professional report on a New Orleans-related issue. Each component provides an opportunity for fellows to develop various skills and build relationships while helping nonprofits meet the tremendous needs of the area.
