Teen Service in USA


The United States is one of the wealthiest countries on the planet, and yet there are still many groups of Americans who need assistance in their everyday lives. In 2010, Rustic Pathways is proud to positively impact communities close to home and focus on service initiatives in New Orleans.

Hurricane Katrina displaced thousands of residents from their homes in 2005, and many who returned are still in need of a permanent place to live. Join our rebuilding effort in the Big Easy during spring break or summer and help reconstruct a great American city! Work with local organizations on construction and environmental restoration projects, explore the sights and sounds of the lively French Quarter, and sample Southern hospitality in one of the most vibrant American cities.

Join us right here in the United States on this rebuilding effort and help transform this vibrant American city!

This year, contribute to the rebuilding efforts in the Big Easy!
Join us right here in the United States for incredible adventures and inspiring community service!
