Skill Requirement: No specific skills are needed except a willingness to learn. Each build site has an assigned Project Director. The Project Director will direct the day’s work and provide necessary instruction. Additional assistance from an experienced, regular volunteer Crew Leader will be on-site to teach you every step of the way.
Age Requirement: To help ensure a safe work environment, construction volunteers must legally be at least 16 years old. Teens 16 and 17 may work on a construction site with parental supervision. Those volunteers under 18 must not use power tools, climb ladders, or work on scaffolding or the roof.

Signing the online waiver is an agreement for taking personal responsibility for any accident or injury on the work site. Volunteers aged 16 or 17 must have a parent or guardian sign a Minor Release and E Waiver of Liability.
