Voluntourism

Since Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, the metropolitan New Orleans community has been the beneficiary of an incredible outpouring of support from visitors to New Orleans. From convention visitors to leisure travelers, church groups to high school and college students, people have shown incredible generosity in giving of their time and talent, and a great deal of elbow grease, helping the city of New Orleans in its recovery and restoration.

The Governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, has established through her office a Web site matching those interested in volunteering with organizations seeking assistance in New Orleans and throughout South Louisiana. For more information, please visit

You can find a list of all volunteer opportunities here.
