Volunteer: Louisiana Volunteers in Action (LAVA)Louisiana Volunteers in Action (LAVA) is Louisiana’s approach to the federally mandated Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP). The ESAR-VHP Program helps states to develop standardized programs for registering volunteer health professionals in advance of an emergency or disaster. LAVA is funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Public Health and Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Cooperative Agreement. The Louisiana Department of Health created LAVA in response to the tens of thousands of individuals, ready and willing to help after the September 11th terrorist attacks (2001) and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (2005). The number of volunteers created a large quantity of spontaneous unaffiliated volunteers, which resulted in the creation of LAVA. The LAVA System launched December 17, 2007, is the web-based registry to credential volunteers prior to an emergency or disaster. It also serves as a mechanism to recruit, notify, manage, train, and deploy volunteers for assisting the state in meeting health/medical surge needs during an emergency. LAVA provides a systematic way of coordinating volunteer efforts during an emergency with a special emphasis on advanced credential verification and deployment based on skill set. It ensures that Louisiana has a competent volunteer workforce who is ready for deployment. Under the direction of LDH’s Volunteer Management Program (located at the Bureau of Community Preparedness), volunteers are deployed when needed. LAVA seeks professionals in the medical field as well as professionals with other skill sets that will prove to be helpful in the event of an emergency. The Volunteer Management Program currently serves 8,256 persons who are registered in the LAVA system and represent 9 regional areas. These volunteers assist in responding to various events throughout the state that include but are not limited to man-made disasters (chemical, nuclear, or explosives), public health threats (disease outbreaks, wildfires, etc.), natural disasters (flooding, hurricanes, tornados, etc.), and terrorist attacks. Any resident of the state of Louisiana, age 18 or older is eligible to register as a volunteer through LAVA (https://www.lava.dhh.louisiana.gov). Persons under the age of 18 may volunteer by providing a written consent statement signed by their parent or guardian. The minor must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their volunteer assignment.

Volunteer: Staring Lane Thrift Store AngelsIn 1963, the Society opened the first St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store/Distribution Center to assist the poor of our community. Our stores provide more than just a place where customers can purchase items at bargain basement prices. Through our St. Vincent de Paul Conferences, we also provide clothing, bedding, appliances, furniture and household items free of charge to those in need. Any revenues generated by our stores are put back into our programs to assist the needy. Volunteers are a critical part of our store operations. Volunteers can assist St. Vincent de Paul tremendously by sorting through and organizing donated items which will enhance the processing and ultimate sale of donated items. Donated items may originate at our Distribution Center or at one of our thrift stores, thus the need to have volunteers sort and organize items at both locations. Do you love to organize?

Volunteer: Rebuild VolunteerVolunteer with lowernine.org!
We need your help to rebuild the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans! We are always looking for individuals to join our volunteer construction crew and work on residential construction projects in the Lower Ninth Ward under skilled supervision. We welcome all willing and able individuals regardless of skill level throughout the year. We provide the necessary project training, tools, and safety equipment. You must have an up-to-date tetanus shot and active health insurance, and should consult with your physician if you have asthma or any known mold or dust allergies. The work we do is physically demanding.
Individuals will join an international team, which works from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Tuesday - Saturday on our open construction projects in the Lower Ninth Ward. We expect all volunteers staying in our volunteer house to commit to this schedule full-time. The vast majority of the time, we work on residential building projects for individual pre-Katrina residents of our neighborhood, but we occasionally take on lot clearing, data collection, or collaboration with other nonprofits in the area. Please be sure to let us know if you have any specific rebuild-related skills or previous experience. We will do all we can to make the most of your skills, but as our project schedules are determined by many variables, we can't make guarantees. Our most common volunteer projects are framing, insulating, sheetrocking, tiling, painting and siding. We cannot tell you ahead of time what you will be doing, but all our projects are guaranteed to contribute in some way to the rebuild efforts of our neighborhood.
Logistics: There is a program fee -- our volunteer coordinator will reach out with more information!
In order to participate in rebuild projects, volunteers should commit to a minimum of two full days of work. We will arrange half-day or weekend projects for large groups whenever possible. Groups with members under the age of 18 will need one legal adult chaperone (over the age of 23) for each five minors. Volunteers under the age of 14 can only participate on rebuild projects alongside their families and not as members of larger groups.
Individuals and small groups are invited to stay in our volunteer house. Groups larger than 12 will need to arrange their own housing and we can provide some contact information for local options as needed. Volunteers are allowed to stay elsewhere and commute to the house for work, but long-term non-local volunteers are highly encouraged to live in our volunteer house. We ask a $150/week housing fee for the first 3 weeks, and $50/week for each week thereafter for up to 3 months, after which point the weekly fee will be waived completely.
