Ever since Hurricane Katrina struck Louisiana and parts of Mississippi in 2005 Jesuit students have responded to the devastation by partnering with St. Bernard’s Project in New Orleans. St. Bernard’s Project strives to “remove barriers for families who wish to move back into their homes in Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes. [In order for St. Bernard’s] to carry out this mission, SBP has established a Volunteer Driven Rebuilding Program, an Opportunity Housing Program, a Good Work Good Pay (GWGP) Program and a Center for Wellness and Mental Health.” While in NOLA Jesuit students’ main focus is to rebuild homes. Fortunately, because of SBP’s generous donors they are able to rebuild a home in 12 weeks for the low average cost of $20,000.
