Volunteer with 9th Ward NENA
Your time, skills, and presence help us support families, youth, elders, and pets — and keep the Lower 9th Ward strong.
Why Volunteers Matter
The Lower 9th Ward is rich in culture, history, and resilience. Volunteers help us extend that strength — from garden work and dog clinics to youth programs, housing, and community events.
