Construction FAQs:
No experience or tools needed. Our construction team are trained professionals who will walk you through your assigned tasks while volunteering. We provide all tools, work gloves, and safety equipment; but if you have your favorites, you can bring them.
Be flexible and prepared to work. In addition to house construction, our construction volunteers also participate in shed building, landscaping, neighborhood revitalization, and more. We ask volunteers to be flexible and prepared for a good day's work, no matter the task.
Upon arriving, please sign-in! Signing in is necessary to be covered by our secondary insurance, to confirm sweat-equity hours.
Attire: Dress for the weather, plan to work outside, and expect to get dirty! We recommend hard-soled work shoes or hiking boots, old work clothes, and dressing in layers. No sandals or flip-flops, you will be sent home. We also recommend a hat or sunscreen for hot weather, and hand sanitizer or baby wipes for lunch.
On-site amenities: Drinking water is available but please help us save money and reduce waste by bringing your own reusable water bottle. Portable toilets are available on our construction sites. On-street parking can usually be found within a block or two, but if you are volunteering with a group, please consider carpooling.
