Louisiana Exchange Calls
Weekly conversations bringing together advocates, leaders,
and organizations across Louisiana to share resources,
updates, and collaboration opportunities.
Join Our Weekly Call
Each Friday we host a virtual Louisiana Exchange call highlighting important community topics, guest speakers,
and collaborative discussions that strengthen communities
across our state.
Our Story
The Louisiana Exchange grew out of The Friday Calls, originally convened under the leadership
of One Rouge. As participation deepened and the need for sustained statewide coordination
became clear, stewardship transitioned intentionally to a collaborative model grounded in
continuity, trust, and shared responsibility.
Today, the Louisiana Exchange is co-hosted by the Louisiana Organization for Refugees and
Immigrants (LORI) and One Touch Ministry, continuing the spirit of collective leadership
while expanding reach and engagement across the state.
We remain grateful to One Rouge for stewarding the space with integrity and for passing the
mic forward in a way that modeled collaboration at its best.
What The Exchange Does
Each week, the Louisiana Exchange centers practical dialogue on the issues shaping
communities across the state. Conversations are designed to be accessible, grounded,
and solutions-oriented.
Speakers include practitioners, public officials, community leaders, and advocates
whose work reflects the realities facing Louisiana communities every day.
