Volunteer Here to Help Gulf Coast Communities

Ongoing Opportunities to Volunteer

Many APA members have work experience in recovery from natural disasters and can offer valuable assistance to their colleagues and communities on the Gulf Coast.

If you'd like to offer services to the recovery effort, APA will help. We have developed an online resource to match volunteers who have specific disaster recovery skills (including grant writing, historic preservation, environmental cleanup, and facilitating public meetings) with situations where such expertise is needed.

Interested members may post their credentials on the APA website. APA will screen resumes and work with FEMA and local authorities that are coordinating volunteer efforts to make appropriate matches.

Members interested in participating on one of AICP's Planning Assistance Teams should complete a resume here. The Planning Assistance Teams are currently being organized, and will travel to the affected areas in the coming weeks and months to respond to the expressed planning needs of several individual communities in the region. To be considered for one of these teams, please complete your Volunteer resume.
