Volunteer

Please register two weeks in advance so that we may prepare for your arrival. If you are planning on bringing a group, please contact our volunteer coordinator BEFORE filling out this form directly by emailing commongroundvolunteers (at) gmail.com or by calling (504)218-6613. EACH INDIVIDUAL in your group must submit this form separately.

Please remember that we cannot allow any dogs at our volunteer housing site. If you are traveling with a pet, you will have to find alternative housing arrangements for it while you are working with us.

Filling out the form does not guarantee that space is available, especially during busy times such as college breaks. Please wait to receive confirmation, and if you have filled out the form but not received confirmation please email our volunteer coordinator at commongroundvolunteers (at) gmail.com or call (504) 218-6613.
