Volunteer Program
Green Light New Orleans is able to operate through the selfless efforts of its volunteers. The organization welcomes volunteers from out-of-state and from within the community. The organization currently solicits volunteers from social activist groups such as AmeriCorps, universities, corporations, and individuals interested in being a part of green program.
Involvement with AmeriCorps*NCCCs, AmeriCorps*Delta Direct, and AmeriCorps*VISTA
AmeriCorps Being that Green Light is a young and very small non-profit, the organization utilizes the dedication of AmeriCorps volunteers for its daily operations, project coordination, and developmental ventures. There are three branches of AmeriCorps - State and National Delta Direct service members, NCCC (the National Civilian Community Corps), and VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America)- and Green Light depends on volunteers from all three branches.
