 Three O’clock Project (TOP) was founded in 2017 in response to continued needs in communities across Louisiana who are challenged by food insecurity. When the school bell rings, many students head home to vulnerable situations where food insecurity and other systemic injustices are present. TOP brings the opportunity for increased food security for youth in at-risk areas as a sponsor to serve meals after school and during the summer months at no cost to recipients. Since 2017, TOP has grown across Louisiana and now serves 70+ organizations statewide in a collective pursuit of ensuring all children have increased access to nutritious food and enrichment opportunities.  Discovery Charter Schools began serving families of Jefferson Parish in 2013 and has since grown into a successful and high demand open-enrollment charter school network operating 2 schools educating over 2,400 students. Discovery schools boast a creative and rigorous academic learning environment as well as a strong school culture. At Discovery, courses have been developed for college and career readiness with an emphasis on health, sciences, and technology. The mission of Discovery Health Sciences Academies is to provide a rigorous learning environment where students achieve academically, develop intellectual curiosity, and practice environmental responsibility while exploring health and science topics and careers.
