Maintenance Tech

Volunteers of America North Louisiana is a faith-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to provide opportunity, promote dignity, and inspire change in all who find their way to us. As a church without walls, we do this through personalized housing, health, and human services that benefit children and families, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and senior adults.
Founded in 1896 by social reformers Ballington and Maud Booth, Volunteers of America began as a movement of “volunteers” who were committed and sought to "reach and uplift" the American people. Volunteers of America North Louisiana began in Shreveport in 1935 with the opening of a shelter for women and children. Leading with our long-standing reputation and brand, the agency has grown to operate 40 programs, which tackle our communities’ most pressing issues and integrate our deep compassion with highly effective programs.
Thanks to our dedicated team of more than 350 employees, along with thousands of volunteers, donors, and supporters, we aim to give hope to thousands of people each year. Through our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, we endeavor to attract qualified, diverse, and caring individuals to consider a career with us and experience a collaborative culture that offers challenging, stimulating, and rewarding opportunities for personal and professional growth.
