Thank You to our Volunteers!Volunteers are the backbone of STAIR. Whether

helping us prepare student materials, providing one-on-one tutoring, or serving on the STAIR Affair Planning Committee, the generous contributions of time and energy are invaluable to the success of the students we serve.

This year we thanked our volunteers for their service with Volunteer Appreciation Parties in Covington, Metairie and New Orleans during

the month of April in conjunction with National Volunteer Appreciation Week. We appreciate all of the ways volunteers supported our mission during the past year!
