Options
According to your group's preference, we line up sites that will be spiritually impactful and play into how God is moving in New Orleans long term. Choose morning and afternoon placements from 7 site types.
Local Church
Partner with local New Orleans churches to support Sunday services, outreach events, and community programs that serve their neighborhoods.
Food Bank
Serve alongside food bank partners to sort donations, pack boxes, and distribute meals to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity.
Unhoused Outreach
Build relationships with New Orleans' unhoused community through meal distribution, hygiene kits, prayer, and genuine conversation.
Community Center
Lead activities, tutoring, and programs at community centers serving children and families in under-resourced neighborhoods.
Community Gardens
Work in urban community gardens that provide fresh produce to local families while building relationships in the neighborhood.
Nursing Home
Visit and minister to elderly residents through conversation, music, prayer, and activities — bringing joy and connection to those who are often isolated.
Evangelism
Go out into New Orleans neighborhoods with gospel tracts, conversations, and prayer — practicing relational evangelism in the streets of the city.
MissionLab was the most impactful mission experience our youth group has ever had. The students came home different — not just inspired, but genuinely changed by what God did through them in New Orleans.
