That’s great! We would LOVE to have you! Ready to sign up? CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP!
What kind of skills or experience do I need?
None at all! We love what we do, and we would love to teach you while at a construction site, home preservation or one of our ReStores!
Do I need to bring any tools?
None are required, but if you have a favorite hammer or other tools you like using, go ahead and bring them! (If you bring your own tools make sure they are labeled so you will know they are yours!)
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty. Sturdy, closed-toed shoes are required for all construction sites. If you have longer hair be sure to bring something to tie it back with. Most volunteers wear jeans or shorts, old t-shirts, and other layers depending on weather.
Can I leave early or arrive late?
We ask that volunteers arrive on time and stay for the entire volunteer event. Please contact us for more information.
I need proof of my completed hours. Can you provide that?
Of course! You’ve earned them! If you have a form you would like us to fill out, please bring it. Otherwise, please contact us for a letter of verification.
How old do I have to be to volunteer?
For our construction sites, all volunteers must be at least 16 years old, even with a parent/guardian. Volunteers ages 16 – 17 must bring a signed minor waiver form with them to the site. If you are 15 years or younger, we have a few alternative volunteer options. For our ReStores, all volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
Can I bring a group?
ABSOLUTELY! The more the merrier! We offer a variety of different volunteer opportunities for groups of any size. If you are part of a company looking to volunteer, please visit our Corporate and Foundation page for more information. If you have five or more participants and are part of a school, community, faith, or other groups, please visit our Faith and Community or Youth Groups pages for more information.
