Make A Difference In New Orleans
Looking for an opportunity to make a difference? 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, are sponsoring the following work weeks in 2009:
May 18 - 22, 2009 (FULL)
June 15 - 19, 2009
Join a group of soon-to-be friends equally committed to using preservation to bring New Orleans back. Why not 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 $250 participation fee that covers housing, food, a t-shirt, a reusable water bottle and daily transportation to and from the work site for the week. Housing is dormitory-style and the typical work day is 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During the week, National Trust for Historic Preservation field staff will also offer a special opportunity to explore the unique preservation story that is New Orleans, as well as discuss some of the ongoing work of the New Orleans field office.
To learn more or express your interest in participating, go to RTNO and contact Caitlin Metzguer at cmetzguer@prcno.org
