Volunteer Louisiana

The Volunteer Louisiana Commission manages the statewide online volunteer portal VolunteerLouisiana.gov. This third-party network connects Louisiana’s citizens and out-of-state volunteers with opportunities throughout the state.

In 2005, the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness designated the Volunteer Louisiana Commission as the lead agency responsible for Spontaneous Volunteer Management in the event of a disaster or emergency. The VolunteerLouisiana.gov portal serves as the management system for all volunteers wanting to offer assistance and service organizations requesting voluntary assistance during times of crisis.

For local volunteer opportunities, call 211 or (337) 232-4357 to locate resources.
