New Construction

Our sites are opened to volunteers Monday-Saturday from 8:30am-3:00pm. All are welcome, no special skills are needed! We also have daily work crews that specialize in different construction activities. Click here to learn more about our specialty work crews.

  • We build Monday through Saturday, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
  • Volunteers should bring lunch, unless otherwise instructed.
  • Construction volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to be present on an active build site. Individual youth volunteers ages 16 or 17 years old can volunteer on site. Groups of youth volunteers (3 youth or more) must be accompanied with one adult chaperone is per every 5 youth.
  • For your safety, please wear thick soled sneakers, hiking boots or construction boots. Long pants are suggested to prevent cuts/scrapes. Shorts should be at least knee length. No Keds, Vans, Toms or opened toed shoes.

Getting started after orientation:

Once you have completed the necessary forms on the New Volunteer Page, get ready to volunteer!

Interested in helping out? Become a community volunteer. Community volunteers do general construction work – no prior qualifications necessary. Work will include site prep, framing, painting, roofing, landscaping, and site cleanup.

Volunteers should register on our Online Volunteer Calendar.

What to expect:

  • A Site Supervisor is in charge of the work and volunteers each work day.
  • All are welcomed-No special skills are needed.
  • All we ask for is a smile and a willingness to help. We will send you home tired, dirty and happy!
