Greening NOLA Spring Campus Move Out

The Challenge: Every spring, literal tons of usable school supplies, home goods, toiletries, and furniture are left behind and trashed on the Tulane & Loyola campuses.

The Opportunity: These materials can be repurposed in our community by over a dozen nonprofits: Mutual Aid Groups, Food Pantries, Teacher Resource Centers, Recovery Houses, and Community Lighthouses all need supplies and are able to get them directly into the hands of under-served families.

The Solution: You! We need Volunteer Teams to help with the Greening NOLA Spring Campus Move Out! Your team of volunteers will intercept, collect, sort, and distribute these goods to Community Partners preventing usable materials from becoming wasted trash.

From May 4th-15th, we need to fill 100 volunteer time slots per day. Sign up now to volunteer with your company, corporate group, or community team.

WHEN:

Week 1 | May 4th-May 8th

Week 2 | May 11th-May 15th 

WHERE:

Week 1 @ West Rd Parking Garage

Week 2 @ John Dibert Community School

TIME: 

Week 1: 3hr shifts starting at 8:30a, 11:30a, 2:30p, and 5:30p

Week 2: 4hr shifts from 11a-3p and 2-6p

WHAT: 

Week 1: Receiving, sorting, and loading donations at campus collection sites.

Week 2: Sorting donations for distribution to Community Partners

NEXT STEPS:

1. Individuals can sign up for the dates and times that work for them.
2. Or a Team Leader can register for a group from a business
3. Be sure to list the organization that shared this opportunity with you, so that we can track your group's hours! 
4. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for multiple shifts and days.

An FAQ and what-to-expect will be emailed to everyone who is registered a few days before their shift.

What your group will receive:

1. After Party Celebration at STEM Library Lab
2. Recognition on participating nonprofits' social medias and newsletters
