Volunteer FAQ

Do I have to stay for the whole week?
Nope. You can join us for one full day (7:30am to 6pm) or participate for the whole week! The more time you can commit, the more fun you’ll have…trust us!

Where do I stay?
Volunteers will be lodging in two unoccupied homes on site- it’s a slumber party! Bathrooms and kitchens will be available.

What about meals?
We provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for all our volunteers. (The after-hours wine and beer is extra…)

Do I need design or construction experience to participate?
No. We design our projects so anyone can participate meaningfully. Our skilled team mebers will help you feel like an expert in a matter of no time!

What do I need to bring?
Here is a short packing list:

  • Work clothes
  • Closed-toe work shoes
  • Toiletries and a towel
  • Work gloves (we have extras)
  • Tool belt (if you have one)
  • Water bottle
