What does a typical build day look like?

Volunteers have the opportunity to spend a half day (8:30-12:00) or a full day (8:30-3:30) on the build site. The day begins with a short intoduction about what the day will entail. The construction manager will teach volunteers how to complete the daily assignments. There will be a break for lunch around 12:00 (not provided). Volunteers complete work that they are comfortable doing, no one will be required to do something that they are unfortable with. We encourage volunteers to take breaks as needed.
What should volunteers know about volunteer during Covid-19?

Masks are currently optional. If you are feeling sick or have a known covid exposure please stay home and register for a different volunteer day.
Do I need construction experience?

No! We welcome volunteers of all skill levels on the build site. The construction manger and skilled volunteers will be on the build site to teach you everything you will need to know.
What should I bring with me to volunteer?
