The Noble Minds Institute (NMI) for Whole Child Learning is dedicated to ensuring all students-especially those with special needs-thrive in supportive, high-quality educational environments. Founded in 2014 as an after-school and summer program, NMI now provides academic and social-emotional support to children across New Orleans, with a focus on students from low-income families and communities of color.

Our Insuring Access, Quality, and Success (IAQS) initiative directly supports children with special needs, particularly those requiring daily living assistance, by offering advocacy, academic support, and essential services. Many of these children face significant socioeconomic and emotional challenges. IAQS also empowers parents with the knowledge and tools to advocate for their children in schools, medical settings, and beyond.

Your support helps ensure every child has access to an education that meets their academic, social-emotional, and wellness needs-transforming their learning experience and future success.
