The Alumni Association in partnership with The Center for Civic Engagement offer alumni the opportunity to give back by volunteering in New Orleans.

New Orleans Service Trip ~ March 8-15, 2008
Join alumna Janice Eatman-Williams and others for an unforgettable opportunity to make a difference in the lives
of the residents of New Orleans.

More than 2 years after the initial devastation of Hurricane Katrina many in the city are still struggling to rebuild their homes and lives. The New Orleans service trip will provide volunteers a chance to work with multiple area agencies committed to preserving history and restoring the community. On the last day of the trip there will be a reception at Ralph and Kacoos open to all CWRU alumni living in New Orleans.

Participants will be responsible for covering their transportation, lodging, and meals not covered at sites.

Underwriting opportunities are also available to help ease
the monetary burden for students. Interested donors should contact Janice Eatman-Williams at the Center for Civic Engagement.
