If you have been seeking opportunities to contribute, we are currently accepting mentors for Raintree House Residents! Mentors only need to be available once a month for activities with mentees ranging from crafts, outings, dinners, on-campus events, and more. Our staff diligently plan these get-togethers with passion and excitement! Residents have conveyed the significance of this interaction to them. Hearing their feedback is the reason we want to grow this program even more!
Staff Appreciation Lunch
On July 24th our staff enjoyed a lunch at Superior Seafood celebrating all of our accomplishments, especially winning 'Best Workplace' from The Times Picayune. As we all gathered, we each picked a word that we'd like to implement into the new fiscal year. Many chose hustle, persistence, teamwork, imagination, and more. The room was filled with laughter, great conversation, and appreciation.
The Times Picayune chose 80 organizations to champion the title "Best Workplace in New Orleans" and we were one of them! The individuals pictured work hard for the betterment of children, even though it can be challenging. Not only that, but our staff is filled with positive people who are eager to make the world a better place.
