ADC Initiatives

New Orleans Military & Maritime Academy (NOMMA)

ADC was created in part to help fund the development of the New Orleans Military & Maritime Academy (NOMMA), a Type-2 public charter school serving approximately 1,000 students – 8th through 12th grade. NOMMA is the #1 open enrollment high school in the state as noted by the Louisiana Department of Education, and 100% of its student body are cadets of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Program.

Art in Algiers

A vision of one Algiers resident, Art in Algiers is a collaboration between ADC and CVU (Community Visions Unlimited) to help beautify Algiers. Local artists created 13 unique painted artworks on Algiers traffic signal control boxes.
