Development Volunteer
We are looking for a volunteer to support and lend capacity to the development team in reaching the fundraising goals of the organization. Most tasks will be administrative/clerical in nature in support of the development team. The development volunteer will not be asking donors for money. This project would require 1-3 hours per week.
- Assist the Stewardship Program by showing donor appreciation through calls, emails, or handwritten thank you notes
- Prepare mailing materials (e.g., stuffing envelopes)
- Engage lapsed donors by calling them on the phone
- Send out digital invites to donors to attend organization events

Down By the River Bike Ride Volunteer
The volunteer will play a key role in enhancing rider safety and experience on the day of the bike ride by accompanying participants along the route. Volunteers can either drive the support vehicle (valid Driver’s License is needed) or bike as the “sweep” to ensure all riders are together. This volunteer position is as needed, when bike rides are booked.
Internships
We do not offer specific, formalized internships. Instead, we will work with you to craft your internship based on your course requirements and what you are most passionate about, be it media work, community organizing, public health, emissions research, or fundraising and communications.
To apply for an internship, please send an email to info@labucketbrigade.org with an attached cover letter and tell us why you’d like to intern at the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and what you hope to learn.
