notes: FROM THE WEBSITE: Hope Goldman Meyer was like many other charitable New Orleanians, doing what she could to make her city a better place to live. After volunteering with the Katrina Krewe she was energized to do more. The problem was, she had trouble matching her volunteer interests with available opportunities in the newspaper. This problem yielded a solution: FIXNOLA.ORG. Meyer, with the help of Peter A. Mayer Advertising, has developed a site where locals can go to find volunteer projects that both draw their interest and fit their schedule. Utilizing the extensive database of volunteermatch.org, this site provides volunteer listings exclusive to the New Orleans area, allowing locals to conveniently find ways that they can make a difference in the city they love. All over New Orleans, we're pitching in. We're pitching in because we care about our city. We're pitching in because we want to help our fellow New Orleanians. We're pitching in because we know if we want a better New Orleans, we have to be the ones to improve it. Though our intentions might be in the right place, sometimes finding a project that lights our altruistic fire can be difficult. That's why FIXNOLA.ORG was created. FIXNOLA.ORG is a website designed to match civic-minded New Orleanians with volunteer opportunities throughout the city. With a database powered by VolunteerMatch and exclusively dedicated to projects in the Greater New Orleans area, you can quickly search hundreds of postings to find the opportunities that match both your interests and your schedule. If you have an extra couple hours on a Saturday, put down the remote and pick up a rake or a hammer—or a miniature schnauzer—whatever interests you. Because that's what this website is all about: helping you help New Orleans any way you can. Finding an opportunity to volunteer The key to volunteering is finding something that you're passionate about. If you're engaged in the project you're donating your time to, you're more likely to make volunteering a regular part of your life. If you like working with your hands, maybe you'd be interested in building projects. If you're concerned about education, you might spend a couple of hours a week tutoring a child. Figuring out what you want to do is the hard part—the rest is only a few clicks away. Just select the category in the top left corner, scan the listings throughout New Orleans that match your interests, contact the organization you want to help, and you're on your way towards helping our city. Posting an opportunity to volunteer If you're a nonprofit organization looking for volunteers in the New Orleans area, simply visit volunteermatch.org and post your opportunity there. Your listing, in addition to being available to volunteermatch.com's national audience, will automatically be listed in the appropriate section of FIXNOLA.ORG. -> FROM THE WEBSITE: Hope Goldman Meyer was like many other charitable New Orleanians, doing what she could to make her city a better place to live.
