NOTE: Rainy Day Traveler does NOT have anything to do with placing volunteers in New Orleans, so we cannot help you find a spot. This list was accurate at the time of publication, but things change, so check with the organizations listed for current information. Check the links at the bottom for additional volunteer opportunities. More on Voluntourism in New Orleans.
