Louisiana Delta Service Corps/Serve Louisiana

Every day, nonprofit organizations across South Louisiana help communities, families and children overcome the challenges of poverty, mental health and wellness, youth development and environmental protection. They want to do even more, and as a Serve Louisiana member, you’ll devote an 11-month paid year to helping a nonprofit partner in Baton Rouge or New Orleans operate more efficiently and effectively. For many members, it’s both the toughest — and most rewarding — year of their working lives. And the impact of your efforts will far outlast the time you spend with your partner organization. Our members provide capacity building-service to our partner organizations as Volunteer Coordinators, Technology and Social Media Coordinators, Program Outreach and Community Awareness Coordinators and Program Development Coordinators. They receive a living allowance of $24,000, health insurance, student loan forbearance, child care reimbursement, in-depth personal and professional development, and valuable networking opportunities. The education award is $7395 which can be used to pay off student loans or to go back to school. As a Serve Louisiana member, you won’t spend all your time with your partner organization. We build two kinds of interesting, impactful growth opportunities into your 11-month service term, including monthly team meetings and biannual 3-day overnight trainings.
