Shirts Across America is a non-profit organization dedicated to moving families out of FEMA trailers one family at a time in the Gulf Coast Region.

Students Extending Assistance to Students

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.

Regina High School's Mississippi Service Trip

This past summer, nearly 40 students, faculty, staff, alumnae and friends of Regina High School traveled by bus to assist with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. They spent a week helping at Our Lady of the Gulf Parish, in Mississippi. The parish is located right on the Gulf of Mexico. Church property includes a church, parish center, temporary rectory, elementary school and a girls’ high school. A boy’s high school is located on the adjoining property. Each of the buildings took a direct hit from Katrina Very little has been rebuilt in the area so far.

Fashion Show for Hurricane Katrina Relief

I hosted a fashion show at Bloomingdale’s on Saturday, March 17th at 1:00 p.m. The fashion show featured high school students, as well as professional models and was free to the public. There was a Worldvision Child Sponsorship booth that allowed people to sponsor impoverished children in many different countries, but the main focus of the event was rebuilding New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. A raffle was held for a three night Caribbean cruise on either the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line or on Carnival Cruise Lines.

Hurricane Katrina Relief Site

My church sponsored a Hurricane Katrina Relief Site fund that was to get people to deliver clothing, food, toys etc.. to our church and we would deliver it to the people.

Opp-Guide to Community Service Opportunities

The Opp-Guide is a community service guide designed to educate and inspire middle and high schoolers. Written by teens for teens, the teens "rate" various community service opportunities in the community. We have devised an objective assessment in which the teens provide their honest opinions about their volunteer experience. Modeled after the "Zagat Guide" which critiques restaurants, the Guide is a resource for teens who may not know of a volunteer opportunity or may not know at which non-for-profit is "fun" to volunteer.
