Job Description:
Description: Ready to make a lasting impact in disaster
recovery? We're seeking passionate individuals to join our team or
serve with AmeriCorps. Natural disasters are increasing in size and
frequency, and displacing over 15 million people each year.
Hurricanes like Ida, Harvey, Maria, and Katrina disproportionately
affect under-resourced communities, whose road to recovery often
takes years. SBP is dedicated to reducing the time between disaster
and recovery, a process that includes helping individual homeowners
and communities rebuild after a disaster. Why New Orleans? Be steps
away from the music, architecture, restaurants, and nightlife in
one of the most iconic cities in the US by serving with us in New
Orleans! You can bike through City Park or walk your dog on the
trails in Audubon, all while enjoying jazz music and hot beignets.
The culture of New Orleans is like no other in the US where
communities come together to enjoy the Big Easy lifestyle. Serve
for 10 months or stay forever as you fall in love and feed your
passions in NOLA. Join Our Team April 28th New Orleans, Louisiana |
