Keeping Lafayette Beautiful - Parish Proud

Co-creating change, together

Who We Are

PARISH PROUD IS AN UMBRELLA SERVICE ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES TO CONVENE, CONNECT AND COLLABORATE WITH PUBLIC, PRIVATE, BUSINESS AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS.

With a vision of Lafayette parish being a thriving and vibrant community, Parish Proud’s mission is to eradicate “visual pollution,” enhance “visual vibrancy” and prioritize the quality of place across our community. We do this by working collectively with our partners to reduce chronic blight and the proliferation of litter; promote and invest in beautification initiatives like public art, tree plantings and beautifying green spaces and raise community awareness on the costs of “visual pollution” and benefits of “visual vibrancy.”

Parish Proud wants you to be proud of our home! In order to do that, we need to better understand what about our community makes you proud and what doesn’t make you proud (perhaps even makes you feel embarrassed…).

Describe your vision to point us towards a better future. What do you dream of seeing out your window? Together, we are making our parish something we can be proud of.
