The city's “Mayor for a Day” program aims to foster and encourage leadership in young people living in New Orleans. New Orleans youth ages 11 to 18 were invited to write essays about what New Orleans would be like if they were Mayor for a day. This year they received over 70 essays. Three winners were selected and will be given the opportunity to be sworn in and shadow the Mayor for a day.

Congrats to our Mayor for a Day!
