A Serious Investment In Your Mission.
Partnering with Serve Louisiana is a proven way to build a more efficient nonprofit, public school, grassroots effort or community initiative, giving your organization greater capacity to improve the lives of those you serve. Our emerging leaders are smart, talented and ready for an 11-month challenge in the Baton Rouge, Lafayette and New Orleans areas. And we pair them with partners who are focused on overcoming the challenges of poverty, mental health and wellness, youth development and environmental protection across South Louisiana.
Working full-time with you, our members make a difference through capacity-building activities that improve your operations; broaden your scope of services; and/or grow your leveraged resources such as volunteers and community partnerships. Our goal is to generate benefits that last well beyond the member’s service term by providing the structure and support your team needs to deliver direct service to those who need it.
Partner Commitment
- Provide a meaningful corps member service experience for 11 months, from September 1st through July 31st.
