Born from the chaos of Hurricane Katrina, our organization embodies the vision of community self-reliance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. With tactics and tools learned from relief work in Indonesia after the 2004 Tsunami, PNOLA quickly fused the leadership of the local population (the residents) with the power of the relief workers (AmeriCorps and Volunteers) and together harnassed the amazing resources from national powerhouse organizations (MerciCorps, American Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way etc). We stayed focused on our community of Lower Mid-City for planning, organizing and repair but spread our rebuild resources as wide as possible when help was needed elsewhere. Today, after 6 years of accomplishments, we continue to trek forward to create sustainable prosperity for our clients and community.
