New Orleans Neighborhoods Partnership Network

Help your community
Gain valuable leadership experience
Develop professional skills

HandsOn New Orleans is seeking motivated, responsible, and goal-orientated individuals to join the Volunteer Leader Program.

Volunteer Leaders are volunteers who make a commitment to help manage a volunteer project. These individuals help us mobilize thousands of volunteers every year, and address any number of community issues including homelessness, hunger, animal rescue, disaster recovery, environmental protection and more.

This is a great way to give back, while gaining valuable leadership experience and professional skills in the areas of management, marketing and recruitment.
