The purpose of this trip is to provide a hands-on service project in the US while learning about New Orleans’ culture and the lasting effects of Hurricane Katrina on its infrastructure. PEA has partnered with Network Volunteers to coordinate all logistics of this volunteer opportunity for our students. This program is focused on helping to rebuild a community in New Orleans, including repairing homes, planting gardens, restoring community parks, and contributing to other neighborhood revitalization projects. Students will also meet homeowners and community members who were negatively impacted by the hurricane.
