Volunteer for BP Oil Drilling Disaster Recovery

On Thursday April 29th, the expanding slick from BP's oil drilling disaster made first contact with land near the mouth of the Mississippi. This catastrophe has already endangered marine life like dolphins, sperm whales, and sea turtles, and now it is threatening coastal wildlife, and the Gulf’s vital marshes and barrier islands. A disaster of such epic proportions will require an unprecedented response from federal and state agencies, as well as those of us who care about the health of the Gulf coast and communities.

There has already been an incredible outpouring of support from those in the region, and throughout the county, in the form of kind words, donations, and, of course, offers to volunteer with clean-up efforts. It is critical that people are trained in how to help before heading down the bayou. The roads are narrow, and will likely be jammed with media, responders, and well-intentioned observers. The scale and scope of this spill are massive, yet the infrastructure in these at risk communities is exceptionally limited, so please don't come down without a plan and training. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be working with government agencies and other organizations who are coordinating volunteer efforts. If you are interested in helping with the recovery efforts, please fill out the information below, and we will be in contact.
