Volunteer

A little bit of time can mean so much to so many.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Episcopal Relief & Development.  We are currently building a database of people interested in assisting with disaster response efforts in the United States.  If you are interested in volunteering, whether in your own community or another part of the country, please complete the volunteer sign-up.

Opportunties with Episcopal Relief & Development's US Partners

Along with signing up for our volunteer database, we encourage you to volunteer with our program partners around the country.

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, there is still a lot of work to be done rebuilding the communities of the Gulf Coast. There are currently multiple opportunities to help meet the needs of affected communities:

Texas Episcopal Disaster Relief & Development, the outreach ministry of the Diocese of Texas, is also looking for interns. Click here to learn more about their spring and summer internship opportunities. For other volunteer opportunities with the Diocese of Texas, visit the website.

To learn about volunteer opportunities in Mississippi, visit the website of Lutheran Episcopal Services in Mississippi. You can also contact the Director of Volunteer Recruitment of Mission on the Bay and Camp Victor Ministries, Kelsey Blum at 228.875.0313 or email her at kblum@lesm.org.  

Volunteering in Haiti

Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with partners in the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti and the neighboring Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic to meet immediate needs and begin formulating a plan for a long-term response. While it is still too early for people to travel to Haiti, we anticipate that volunteer opportunities may become available as the recovery and rebuilding process unfolds.

If you are interested in being contacted about potential volunteer opportunities, please send an email with your name, email address, mailing address, phone number and applicable skills (i.e. carpentry, language skills - Creole, etc.) to volunteer@er-d.org. We will reach out to you if and when these opportunities become available.
