To help build:

• Team Members & Individuals: Click volunteer to find your team's build day, and additional "all women welcome" days. You will use the same login as your fundraising page, but will have to give additional information to volunteer. (If you already have an account, be sure you are signed-in first.)

Construction Volunteering FAQs:

• We work year-round as long as conditions are safe. For issues of inclement weather, our construction sites will close when the Rochester City School District has also closed.
• Upon arriving, please sign-in! Signing in is necessary to be covered by our secondary insurance, to confirm volunteer hours, and for us to send you a thank you!
• No skills needed, our construction team are trained professionals who will walk you through your assigned tasks while volunteering.

Attire:
• Dress for the weather, plan to work outside, and expect to get dirty!
• We recommend hard-soled work shoes or hiking boots, old work clothes, work gloves, and dressing in layers.
• Also recommended: hat or sunscreen for hot weather, hand sanitizer or baby wipes for lunch.
• No halters tops. No sandals or flip flops.

• Place valuables in a locked trunk/out of sight, or carried in a waist pouch.
