WORK A SHIFT. IT'S FUN!
You do NOT need any special knowledge about tools, only a willingness to help out and connect with your neighbors.
Beginners always have an experienced volunteer to help teach and support them. Please let us know if it's your first-time volunteering and we can set you up for success.
Experienced volunteers you are so very appreciated. You've learned for yourself how satisfying it is to help your neighbors get things done. Thanks for your continued support!
