We are looking for volunteers to spend a couple of hours helping out with our festival/block party (Central City Festival). This could include set up in the morning, break down at the end, taking pictures, helping with production, helping with kid's activities, teaching or demonstrating a craft, dance technique, etc. We also have a health fair and non-profits expo at the festival.
Before the festival, we are looking for help with planning, including outreach to community groups to increase participation, especially of children and youth.

Mission Statement
To increase economic opportunity in the neighborhood commercial district.
Description
The Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard Merchants & Business Association (OCHBMBA) is been the lead organization engaged in a strategic plan to revitalize the Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. neighborhood commercial district. OCHBMBA has facilitated significant investment for the corridor over the years, especially in the post-hurricane Katrina environment, and the Boulevard is making a spectacular come-back.
In 2006, OCHBMBA successfully applied to become a Louisiana Main Street Community, and the area became a Louisiana Cultural Products District in 2009. Both initiatives are managed by OCHBMBA, which is a 501 c3 non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Louisiana.
Since hiring its first executive director in 2006, OCHBMBA has strengthened existing businesses and organizations; developed financial and other resources; procured technical assistance and university partners to assist property owners with redevelopment; and recruited new businesses identified as desirable by the community’s residents.
