Thank you for your interest in serving with SBP in 2025! We are recruiting volunteers for New Orleans and Tampa. Due to limited capacity in New Orleans, we are encouraging groups larger than 10 to consider Tampa due to greater availability and capacity.

As we enter the 20th year since Hurricane Katrina, we remain committed to supporting New Orleans. However, the work there has become more nuanced and less suited to traditional volunteer engagement, which means we’re offering fewer opportunities in that location.

Meanwhile, SBP is actively placing volunteers in Tampa, Florida, where recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton (2024) continues. Your service can make a powerful impact in helping homeowners return to safe, resilient homes.

Please complete this form, and a member of our Volunteer Team will contact you within 48 business hours to discuss your interest and availability!
