HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

No professional construction experience? No problem. We have projects tailored for every skill level, age group, and physical capability:

• Unskilled teams tackle vital yard cleanups, basic painting, and exterior home maintenance.
• Skilled craftspeople lead critical carpentry, roof sealing, and structural home repair.
• Professional partners handle complex plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.
• Behind-the-scenes leaders drive our operations through grant writing, fundraising, site assessments, communications and kitchen support.
• Leadership roles are always welcome – we need help recruiting House Captains and planning committee roles.

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum Age: Volunteers must be at least 12 years old.
• Youth Groups: Must have an adult contact and pre-arranged adult-to-youth ratios.
• Liability Waivers: Anyone under 18 must bring a physical release form signed by a parent or guardian.
