For over 30 years, Covenant House New Orleans has cared for homeless and highly at-risk youth, helping them achieve stability and build independence. It provides comprehensive residential and supportive services to youth (ages 16 to 22), including mothers and their children. Covenant House is a safe haven where at-risk youth can take advantage of professional care and services to move their lives in a positive direction.
JLNO members plan and host monthly celebrations for Covenant House residents. This includes developing the theme for each celebration complete with decorations, refreshments, activities, and a small gift for each resident when birthdays are celebrated. Each month, JLNO volunteers share joy and love with these young residents and learn of their resiliency and promise.
