We are looking forward to having you out on site. Please fully read this description to get the most up to date information. We rely heavily on volunteers to meet our construction schedule.

We strongly recommend wearing boots; however, we realize that not all volunteers own a pair of boots. Our Site Supervisors have final say as to if a certain type of shoe is allowed on the construction site.
Lunch/Water: Please bring your own lunch as some of our build sites are not located near any place to buy food. We will have a cooler of water on site however we recommend that you bring a water bottle, this helps us cut down on plastic waste.
