Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in working with our gulf affiliates and the Rebuild 1000 initiative. We are thrilled that you are considering donating your time and talent to help those people most impacted by the hurricanes.
The local affiliate will ensure that you have all the tools and materials needed to successfully complete the repairs listed on the scope of work. We are requesting that each volunteer contribute funds to Rebuilding Together for the logistical expenses of a Rebuild 1000 Work Week. The expenses include housing, food, insurance, t-shirts, safety equipment and daily transportation to and from the worksite.
Volunteer fees range between $260 and $285 per person per week, depending on the affiliate with whom volunteers will work.
Volunteers may choose to use the housing options provided by the host affiliate or may secure alternative accommodations for the work week at their own expense. Please indicate which housing option you will be choosing below:
Currently, the Fee is $260 per person per week for a work week in Acadiana or Calcasieu. The fee is $285 per person per work week in New Orleans. The Logistical Fee includes the following:
- Housing at an approved volunteer housing facility
- Daily shuttle service to and from the job site
- Three meals a day
- Volunteer accident insurance
- Safety gear and t-shirts
- Organized and supervised build sites
Your donation for the volunteer fee is not tax deductable, as you are receiving goods and services for this donation.
