Discover the value of your company's employees working together to benefit the community. Workplace volunteerism builds teams, cultivates leaders, links your business's values to community involvement, and enhances your reputation with the community.

In parterning with HandsOn New Orleans we will:

• Identify the community project:
  We will find a project for your volunteers based on community need, day/time of service, and the number of volunteers. You will be given the chance to select the project option before further planning ensues.
• Assess the work:
  Projects typically have a variety of tasks for varying skill levels. We will develop a project scope with the tasks to be completed and the number of volunteers required for each task.
• Prepare supplies:
  We will determine, secure, and set up all supplies prior to the project; including any necessary safety equipment.
• Provide onsite leadership:
  We will guide volunteers during the day of service by assigning trained volunteer leaders, OR we can train your volunteers to lead projects.
• Facilitate service-learning:
  In order to completely understand the context of the project within the community, we will provide a brief orientation to all volunteers either prior to or on the day of service.
• Report the impact:
  We will complete a final report of the project with quotes, pictures, and facts from the day of service in order to highlight the project's community impact.

Before anything can start we need you to fill out our Service Project Request Form.

The Service Project Request Form tells us the types of projects your group is interested in supporting and communicates key details for project development. This is what we use to help structure a proposal for the project, which includes specific roles, costs, and project development timelines.

Once the Service Request Form is completed please email or fax it to Kertrina Watson Lewis.
(email): kwatsonlewis@handsonneworleans.org (fax): 504.483.7043


Once the Service Project Request Form is submitted, an agreement will be developed and approved. Once we have received a signed copy of the agreement with a deposit, we can confirm your reservation and begin to further develop your service project. Your day of service can be designed around holidays or corporate milestones, during the week or weekend, on a one time basis or more frequently.

Project days typically occur Monday through Saturday, not to exceed 6 hours between 9am - 5pm.
