4. You will be contacted a few days before your arrival to make sure that you have all the information necessary to participate in your desired volunteer project(s). For example, location of project(s), project coordinator(s) and time the project(s) will start and stop for each day of your visit. We will verify that you have arrived safely in New Orleans and your volunteer experience is going according to plan.
5. After your visit has concluded, James will contact you to talk about your volunteer project to make sure everything went as planned.
