Teddy Nathan, MBA

Teddy came to New Orleans in 2006, exactly one year after Hurricane Katrina, to attend Tulane University. He quickly started volunteering at a variety of nonprofits and was galvanized by the hard work and dedication of those organizations to help rebuild New Orleans. That dedication had a strong impact on Nathan, prompting him to volunteer for a range of efforts from rebuilding houses, to after-school tutoring for children and adults. He also completed a term with the AmeriCorps Literacy Alliance and ran a student-led youth recreation program at a local community center.

After graduation, Teddy stayed in New Orleans and served in the Mayor’s Office and at Tulane’s Center for Public Service, where he continued to promote volunteer programs across the city. Since founding NetWork Volunteers in 2014, the organization has worked with over 50,000 unique volunteers from over 200+ volunteer groups that have had more than an $11 million philanthropic impact across the country.
