We are shining the spotlight on Charley Robichaux (Hession), a 2009 graduate of Catholic High School, who has dedicated his career to service, community engagement, and philanthropy.

After earning his degree, Charley moved to New Orleans to begin his AmeriCorps service with Boys Hope Girls Hope of Greater New Orleans, a residential program that supports academically motivated children in need. His two years with AmeriCorps laid the foundation for a career focused on service to others, leading him to transition into nonprofit management and fundraising. Charley worked as the Business Manager for St. Rita Parish in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before taking on his current role as Fund Development Manager for Ascension DePaul Services and DePaul Community Health Centers, the largest Catholic healthcare provider in the region. His work supports the health and well-being of New Orleans’ most vulnerable populations.
