Group Opportunities

 Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
Groups of volunteers, whether they be part of a religious, civic, school or other organization, have made a tremendous impact on the greater New Orleans area.  Each year, Volunteers of America relies on these groups to help us with special events, program activities and general maintenance on many of our facilities.  Groups as small as three and as large as 300 have helped us in a variety of our programs.  Whatever your interests, avaiability or skill level, whether you're looking for a one-time opportunity or looking to begin a relationship with our organization, there is an opportunity for your group to improve the lives of the more than 65,000 people we serve.
