about
The Level Up Campaign was founded in 2014 by Eyshana Webster and Roderick Joseph two youth advocates with a love for music and entertainment. Travelling to grade schools and communities, putting on a educational assembly that involved motivational speakers, theatrical performers, live dj and entertainment. After, completing each concert youth are able to sign up for programs of their interest. With a range of programs to develop and prepare youth to transition in greater roles within the organization or life in general.
Currently operating as a VOAD organization in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security.
Since March 14, 2020 The Level Up Campaign (LUC) organization activated essentially needed programs during the COVID-19 pandemic involving culinary, mentoring, and ensuring the community have resources, skills and access to a better life. The pandemic forced LUC along with many organizations to submit to a greater calling. The Level Up Campaign exercised true heroism by launching the ongoing Crisis Program utilizing the youth to assist with preparing healthy hot meals, and delivering to individuals incapable of doing so themselves, LUC offers a diverse range of resources to better serve youth and families. Since 2006 the Lower 9th ward of New Orleans struggles to recover due to hurricane Katrina. Not many essential businesses nor investors have interest in being stationed there. Which means the people rely solely on local officials, non-profits, and faith based organizations. Creating an safe environment for children to study and stay productive became priority which led the Crisis program to offer assistance to individuals in need of Government resources such as (SNAP and Unemployment).
