The groups are asking interested individuals to register with the United Way of Acadiana as a 2006 Hurricane Season Volunteer. A few minutes is all it will take to provide your current contact information and answer a few questions about any special skills you may have and the type of volunteer assistance you would like to offer.

Registered volunteers will receive notice of upcoming local training sessions that are relevant to their specific areas of volunteer interest.
