Zion Travelers Cooperative Center, Inc. (ZTTC) is a faith based community development cooperation organized immediately after Hurricane Katrina in Phoenix, LA (Plaquemines Parish’s east bank).

ZTCC programs consist of technology / audio, drama, youth entrepreneurship, tutorial and coastal restoration / environmental classes for youths (Connecting Kids to their Environment). ZTCC has created an open forum for community residents to address their concerns, demands, grievances and needs to and with local state and national elective officials. ZTCC’s mission is to rebuild our community spiritually and mentally, and maintain self-determination.
