Individual Volunteers

Every day, individuals like you make a positive difference in the lives of local youth at our clubs across Acadiana. We are now welcoming in-person volunteers to support our essential programs, including academic support and wellness activities. All volunteers must attend an orientation to learn more and start the registration process.

Group & Corporate Volunteers

Volunteer groups provide support to our Clubs on a one-time basis. Events are coordinated directly with our Volunteer Program and fill essential needs of our Clubhouses. We can accommodate groups of 3 to 20 volunteers. To get started, please fill out our interest form
