CITY INFORMATION
It’s easy to travel around New Orleans and fall in love with its vibrant, lively and friendly spirit. The locals are unique characters, there’s lots and lots of great food and you can walk down the street at any given time and hear the most beautiful jazz and blues music. There’s nothing in the world that you can remotely compare this city to and that’s just one of the many charming things about NOLA. And of course it’s rich in history, religion, has fun traditions and a distinct culture that includes Spanish, French and African influences. Millions of tourists flock to the Big Easy every year to experience the craziness of Bourbon St. and hang out in the French Quarter, but what many don't realize is pockets of the city are still in need of help due to Hurricane Katrina. Volunteers are always welcomed. There are many ways to help serve the community and if you've volunteered in New Orleans, we’d love to hear about your experience. Please let us know which organization you signed up with, what your trip was like, and if you’d recommend the program to others.
