Volunteer exchange in the USA

Shared via our Facebook group.

My family and I would like to host a handy volunteer (or a couple) in our home in Covington, Louisiana (USA). In exchange for 15 to 20 hours of help per week, you would support home repairs and yardwork. The stay is for at least one month and could turn into a long-term arrangement for the right person.

This work exchange is connected to a local mutual-aid project. We run a community page where people can ask for items or help they cannot afford, and others offer what they can. The goal now is to create a free pantry and a community garden on our property to reach even more people who need support.

More about this opportunity

The offer includes a furnished room, a shared bathroom, most meals, and Wi-Fi. In return, you will help with yard work and house remodeling, and occasionally support meal preparation.

Prospective volunteers must pass a background check and sign a written agreement that covers length of stay and basic house rules. Terms may change later, based on what we decide together as homeowner and volunteer.

About us

We are an accepting family of five, but only two adults and one child live in our 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Our home is clean and animal-loving, so it may not be suitable for people with allergies or who are uncomfortable around animals. We are spiritual (not religious), hard-working, mostly easy-going, and genuine people.

COVID-19

The pandemic has greatly diminished our income, but we are trying to keep these community projects alive. Feel free to message us if you would like more details, or if you want to talk through the arrangement.
