Volunteer on a Block Build
We welcome group and individual volunteers with all skill levels to participate at our Block Builds!
At each Block Build, we bring together 100 to 250 volunteers, neighbors and homeowners for a two-day event in April, June and October to repair 10 to 15 clustered homes in a targeted neighborhood. Each volunteer usually contributes for 7-8 hours on one day of each Block Build. Read more about our Block Build program.
Volunteers can act in several roles:
General Volunteer
Each home on the block has 8-10 volunteers (rebuilders) working together to complete repairs. Volunteers can also choose to help with materials management, photography and hospitality.
House Captain
House Captains are responsible for breaking down tasks day by day, assigning volunteers to tasks and keeping everyone on track.
Skilled Leaders
Each house has an experienced leader to organize materials and assist and train volunteers.
