For 30 years, Covenant House has offered a lifeline for at-risk and homeless youth, recognizing their inherent goodness and boundless potential.
A powerful film by the award-winning
Renaud Brothers and executive producer
Michael K. Williams, telling the raw &
emotional stories of our brave young
people as they seek help and hope.
On November 15th, 170 sleepers will
spend a night on the streets to raise
funds and awareness for our kids.
Covenant House opens its heart and its doors each year to more than 800 youth & children with nowhere else to turn.
Sadly, the vast majority have experienced years of abuse, violence, and trauma.
With God’s grace, our team of professionals and volunteers help them to heal – and begin new hope-filled journeys.
We are open 24/7, 365 days per year.
No one is turned away.
There’s always room for one more.
We love each of our kids
like our own.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Every single one is good, and
beautiful, and brave.
We are so proud of them.
Matthew 25:35-36
Covenant House New Orleans is the highest-rated non-profit in Louisiana
by Charity Navigator, the nation’s premier independent charity evaluator.
This is the 5th consecutive year we’ve received the coveted 4-star rating.
Every one of our residents has a story.
Every one of them is a child of God.
Though they often come to us with painful pasts, they are all united by their desire to heal, to learn, and to grow.
Our talented and caring staff works with them to unlock their unique potential. We are inspired by them – and all that they have overcome.
See how some of our courageous young people are flourishing.
In the past 6 years, the number of the young people in our care has grown from 45 to 170 per night. Most have endured unimaginable abuse, violence, and trauma. You can help give them a chance.
CHNOLA is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Much more than “just a shelter,” we provide supportive counseling and the tools needed to help our youth become independent, productive members of our community.
