AmeriCorps Direct members serve as the backbone of our construction capacity and support for our office, working alongside our staff every day as they guide volunteers and future homeowners on the build site or behind the scenes. In dedicating a year of their lives to serving the City of New Orleans, these young leaders have an amazing impact on the lives of hundreds of families and thousands of volunteers.
“The best thing the US government sent after Hurricane Katrina arrived in a gray t-shirt with the AmeriCorps logo.” – Jim Pate, Executive Director, New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity
