Since 2012, Metromorphosis has supported the transformation of urban communities from within. Through every year, strategy, and initiative that has been co-created or supported we’ve ensured that community members have been at the forefront.
Our mission is to transform urban communities from within. We understand the essence of this mission to be connecting people and organizations in ways that allow them to co-create a Baton Rouge in which all of its citizens feel it is a vibrant, thriving place to live, work and experience success.

MetroMorphosis is more than an organization; it's a catalyst for systemic change, ensuring that communities are not just recipients of aid but active architects of their futures.
Your investment enables MetroMorphosis to:
- Equip everyday leaders through initiatives like the Urban Leadership Development Initiative (ULDI), fostering leadership as a daily practice rooted in community engagement.
- Strengthen local economies by supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs through LaunchBR, expanding access to capital, contracts, and development tools for long-term growth.
- Empower neighborhoods like South Baton Rouge, where residents are reclaiming their community through collaborative planning, grassroots initiatives, and a shared vision for housing, safety, and culture.
- Shift narratives by amplifying the assets, strengths, and wisdom already present within communities, challenging outdated perceptions and reframing what's possible.
- Foster collective action by connecting stakeholders across sectors to co-create bold, equitable, and sustainable solutions that center the people most affected.
