Lead A Project –

Are you ready to take your volunteerism to the next level? Hands On New Orleans wants to support as many agency partners as possible with not only volunteers but with volunteers to lead projects. That’s where you come in, by being the face of Hands On New Orleans in the community. There are many agencies and schools that do not have all the staff necessary to manage volunteers and need your help. Volunteer leaders provide needed capacity and manage projects at local community agencies. As a volunteer leader you communicate project details to volunteers that sign up, you orient the volunteers on the day of service, and lead them in the project tasks. Leading a project is a great way to “own” a project and help others experience the benefits of volunteering.

Special Events –

 Want to be a part of something big? Almost every month there are opportunities for volunteers to take part in special events, and special projects. Participating in a special event project is a great way to directly connect your service to specific issues and interests that appeal to you. Many of these projects also connect to events and activities happening around the country.
