Current volunteer opportunities
Community Outreach Volunteer
We are in need of 1-2 volunteers to help us conduct community outreach in St. James Parish. This role would assist our Programs Manager in going door-to-door in Convent, LA and possibly another area in St. James Parish. Volunteers will follow a provided script promoting the NextGen Summer Camp and giving out applications and flyers to interested families. This is Inclusive Louisiana’s first summer camp and as a community-structured organization, it is important that we provide multi-generational events and we now have the capacity to host a summer camp at our Village Hub. This volunteer opportunity will be no more than 3 hours and volunteers are required to have their own transportation to Convent, LA. This will occur next week (Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday) or the following week (Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday).
Archive Volunteer
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented volunteer or intern to support our archival initiative aimed at organizing, preserving, and enhancing access to our historical collections. This project offers hands-on experience with archival theory and practice in a dynamic institutional setting and will help Louisiana Bucket Brigade preserve its 25-year legacy. Duties & responsibilities include: assisting with surveying, rehousing, and preparing archival materials (e.g. documents, photographs, artifacts) for digitization; supporting inventory creation and arrangement while upholding archival principles such as provenance and original order; participating in data cleanup and import/export tasks into our records management system; producing inventories, finding aids, and basic documentation adhering to standards like ISAD(G) or EAD; contributing to developing vocabularies, glossaries, or internal guides to support future users.
Development Volunteer:
We are looking for a Development Volunteer to help us with our stewardship program for 1-3 hours per week. As our Development Volunteer, you will support and lend capacity to the Development team in reaching the fundraising goals of the organization.

Programs Tech Support Volunteer:
We are looking for someone to help upload multiple lengthy videos to Inclusive Louisiana’s YouTube channel. This would be bi-weekly or monthly and require in-office volunteering.
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 will bike at the back of group (as the “sweep”) to ensure all riders are together. Additionally, the volunteer will help pull bikes and pump tires at the beginning of the ride and help with any small bike adjustments or fixes along the way. This volunteer position is as needed, when bike rides are booked.

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.
