What does a build site day look like?

On your volunteer day, our Site Supervisors will greet you for sign-in several minutes before the scheduled start time for the day. Then, they will provide a brief safety orientation. Please note that safety is very important to us and your presence at the safety orientation is mandatory.

After orientation, Site Supervisors inform you of your tasks for the day and begin training. Site supervisors will guide you in every task you complete during your build day (as needed). If there is ever anything you are asked to do that you are uncomfortable with, our team will be happy to help you get comfortable with the task or find another task for you.

Water breaks are encouraged often with a formal break occurring between 10-10:30AM followed by a lunch break around 12PM.

Volunteers, with all experience levels, assist our Site Supervisors in the following tasks:

  • Framing
  • Installing insulation & baffles
  • Installing exterior doors and windows
  • Installing cabinets, interior doors, and trim
  • Exterior priming and painting
  • Landscaping
  • Punch & finish tasks
