The Problem
Students Extending Assistance to Students, Inc. (SEAS) was founded by a group of inspired young individuals whose lives were changed after a service-learning trip to the storm-ravaged Gulf Coast region during the summer of 2006. The mission of SEAS is to alert students nationwide about the ongoing plight of young people facing a myriad of adversities throughout the United States of America, and to inspire them to take action and provide aid to their disadvantaged peers.
Why It's Important
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the organization, SEAS is led by passionate students as well as experienced and well-qualified adults. Currently, SEAS is focusing its efforts on providing aid and support to those students whose lives were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Although the storm occurred more than two years ago, the aftermath of Katrina continues to weigh heavily on daily life in the region.
The Plan Of Action
SEAS seeks to ensure that the victims of the Gulf Coast are not neglected. During the past two years, our members have established a network of community leaders and organizations in Louisiana and Mississippi. Through ongoing direct communication with them, SEAS strives to respond promptly to their most pressing needs.

Update: 1/23/08-Laura is now working with schools in New Orleans on a music drive, as many school instruments were destroyed during Katrina. Her team is also working on preparing a presentation/media kit that they can send around to different schools, so that they too can get involved with SEAS.
