This is an annual event in Lafayette, LA where we connect people with community-focused ideas with expertise and financial backers to make their ideas happen. Have an idea for your community, but not sure how to get it done? At the 24 Hour Citizen Project, we’ll connect you with the expertise, key decision makers and financial backers to help make your idea a reality. Be prepared to experience the ups and downs of pursuing your idea, the pressure of getting it done in 24 hours, and the encouragement given to you by your fellow citizens cheering you on.
