Catholic Charities of Acadiana staff works across many roles to ensure that our programs serving those experiencing homelessness, hunger and poverty offer robust and professional service. Administrative support volunteers serve across various programs and departments to help extend the reach of our staff in bringing professional, timely, prompt, and adequate service to each client or community supporter in their unique, individual circumstances.  

These volunteer opportunities are best filled by a volunteer who can commit to regular service.

Volunteers must be aged 18+

Volunteers should be comfortable working in an office environment, proficient in basic computer skills, and possess excellent phone and customer service skills.  Volunteers should be cheerful and courteous when dealing with the public. Volunteers are expected to respectfully maintain client and volunteer confidentiality.

Volunteer tasks include answering phones, data entry, organization of spreadsheets, file organization, and other duties as assigned. 

The location of service is dependent on the program in which the volunteer is placed. 

Volunteer shifts are scheduled M-F between 8 am-4 pm. The specific days and times of the shift will be determined by mutual agreement between the volunteer and the director of the program in which the volunteer is serving. Volunteers should plan on serving 2-4 hours a week. Projects will vary based on the needs of the department.

How do I sign up? This volunteer opportunity requires a phone or in-person “get to know you” conversation and a Volunteer Intake Application. A background check may also be required. 

When a placement Is made volunteers will complete any appropriate orientation and training with the department in which they are serving as well as completing any necessary paperwork prior to integration into their role.

To inquire contact Community Engagement Coordinator, Sarah Baquet, at (337) 235-4972 ext. 1222 or email sarahb@catholiccharitiesacadiana.org.

We are deeply grateful for all who walk alongside us in our mission to care for the sacred gift of all human life, especially the most vulnerable.

Thank you so very much for volunteering!
