Ways to Get Involved

Elevate NOLA runs on neighbors. Whatever your gifts — a free Saturday, a love of reading, a business that wants to help — there's a seat at this table for you.

The Big One

Volunteer at Leah Chase Day

At the heart of our year is one unforgettable Saturday at Leah Chase School — a community feast from New Orleans' most beloved kitchens, a headline speaker, student performances, and a neighborhood clean-up. It takes a small army of volunteers to set the table, serve the food, run the day, and leave the block more beautiful than we found it.

If you're outgoing, hard-working, or just love this city, you're the perfect fit.

One Saturday. One school. One community — all at one table.
