Make a Difference! Sign up to volunteer in New Orleans, LA June 23 to 27, 2008.

Looking for an opportunity to make a difference in 2008?  Consider spending a week in New Orleans, volunteering to help bring more families home again as recovery efforts there continue.  The National Trust for Historic Preservation, in partnership with Rebuilding Together New Orleans (RTNO) and the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans, is sponsoring an upcoming volunteer week: June 23 to 27.  Join 49 of your soon-to-be friends equally committed to using preservation to bring New Orleans back.  Or, bring a friend and introduce them to the role preservation is playing in the city's recovery.

Volunteers pay their own travel expenses to reach New Orleans and a $200 participation fee to cover housing and food for the week.  Daily transportation to and from the work site will be covered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Housing in dormitory-style and a typical workday is 8am to 4pm.  During the week, National Trust staff will also offer a special opportunity to explore the uniqe preservation story that is New Orleans, as well as discuss some of the ongoing work of the field office currently located there.

Refund Policy: Due to planning procedures, cancellation refunds will be awarded if notified by email or telephone 3 weeks prior to the event (June 2, 2008). Notify Sean Vissar at svissar@prcno.org or at 504-636-3076.
