THE WORKSITE

WORK ACTIVITIES

 As we move towards the two-year mark of Hurricane Ian, and our commitment to remain in the affected area, we are beginning to explore more opportunities to integrate ourselves in community resilience building and long-term support initiatives. 


Our current scopes of work include but are not limited to, Recovery work (installing insulation, drywall, molding, doors, windows, flooring, etc.)  Response work (muck and gut and mold sanitation,) Community outreach programs such as working at food pantries, beach clean-up days,  and partnering with other organizations in the area (an example would be a wall-raising event with Habitat for Humanity.) 



Scopes that are currently in development, more information TBD:

-Wetland clean-up days




 *Don’t worry if you have never done this before—we will teach you everything you need to know when you get here.

TYPICAL WORKDAY

Each day’s schedule is subject to change, depending on the specific needs of the community being served.  In the mornings, volunteers will be ready with their work boots on and lunches packed by 7:45 AM. Everyone will head down together to help load up the work vans and head to sites with your team. At the end of the day, your Site Supervisor will let you know when it's time to clean up in order to make it back to base by 4pm. There will be an hour-long lunch around noon.


After returning from the worksite, volunteers have the opportunity to relax, unwind, and reflect on the day during the daily  team meeting at 4:45 PM.


You can find more information about the daily schedule here.
