Ready to join your team on the build site?
*Volunteers must be 16 years old or older. Volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a waiver signed by a legal guardian with them to the construction site on their scheduled build day. Minor volunteers may not operate power tools or work at heights above six feet. There is no upper age limit for volunteers.
We are using a tool called 'Bloomerang Volunteer' to help manage communications and scheduling between the team. Sign up for your build day using the link below!
Learn more about your build day
Please arrive by 9:00am to our volunteer welcome center, located at 207 Sheridan Ave, Albany, NY 12210. On-street parking is available but we recommend carpooling or other modes of transportation, as it may be hard to find a spot. Once you arrive, you will sign in and meet our friendly on-site construction staff members, Dwain & Mike.
How to prepare
SAFETY TRAINING. When you arrive on your scheduled volunteer day, you will watch this build site safety video.
Volunteers are also welcome to watch it prior to their scheduled day.
STAY UP TO DATE. If your day is canceled due to weather, you will receive a text message and/or email at least 24 hours before your scheduled shift.
What to Bring
A form of ID
Water bottle (We have water on site.)
Snacks
Lunch (unless otherwise noted by your Team Leader)
Optional: gloves, hard hat and safety glasses if you have them (if not, you can borrow ours.)
What to wear
Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Check the weather in the morning so you can be prepared! Layering clothing is recommended for cold weather. Please wear rain gear when working in the rain.
Closed-toe shoes or boots. You will not be allowed to volunteer on site if you wear sandals, flip flops or slip-on shoes. All shoes must be tied properly.
