Don't let the lack of buzzers, bull horns, or painted chests fool you, Mission Ignition is no ordinary competition. Over the next three weeks, students from nine New Orleans-area high schools – Haynes, Lusher, Riverdale, Benjamin Franklin, East Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Taylor, Isidore Newman, and John Ehret - will compete to complete the most service hours and win the title of Mission Ignition champions.
Watch the video above to hear more about the student-run competition from Mission Ignition Board Member and Lusher student Carson Koeffler and United Way’s Haley Mack. Students can view available missions and sign up to participate at UnitedWaySELA.org/MissionIgnition2020.
