COVID-19 Safety Policies
As of July 2021, we are requiring that all volunteers be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to volunteering on-site. Masks must be worn at all times, regardless of vaccination status.
Questions or concerns? Email us at volunteernola@covenanthouse.org.
Interested in Volunteering?
For volunteer positions interacting directly with youth, individuals must be 25 or older. We also ask for at least a six month commitment to a regular schedule.
We also ask that, if possible, volunteers donate $25 to cover the cost of processing the background check.
Want to get started? Create your (free!) Thinkific onboarding account here. Once you create your account, you can follow the course to complete your onboarding process.
We love our volunteers, and are always open to new ideas! For any questions related to volunteering, email volunteerNOLA@covenanthouse.org.
Please note that we are unable to validate court mandated volunteer hours.
Sign up for volunteer opportunities with POINT
We are now using the POINT App to schedule all of our volunteer shifts. Public (individual day) volunteer opportunities will be posted below for registration.
If you are interested in recurring volunteer shifts, you will need to complete our full onboarding process (through VolunteerHub above) to gain full access to our other shifts on POINT. If you have already completed onboarding, please create your POINT account and then join “Covenant House New Orleans” on the app. Reach out to volunteerNOLA@covenanthouse.org with any questions!
