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.

Position Descriptions:

  • As a Project Lead , you will rebuild, construct, and fortify the homes of disaster survivors.

You will learn sustainability and energy efficiency techniques that help homes better withstand future storms. No construction experience is necessary.

Your work will fortify these members of our community from reaching their breaking points.
  • As a Disaster Corps Project Lead, you will embody SBP's dedication to timely response, deploying to disaster-impacted communities following the immediate impact of natural disasters. When not on deployment, you will serve as Project Leads supporting recovery in your community.
