Become a Rebuilder
Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley is looking for volunteer house captains to lead a project on Spring Rebuilding Day, set for April 25.
House captains are responsible for planning and executing a safe and quality rebuilding project by developing a realistic scope of work, creating a materials list, determining volunteer needs, acquiring materials and overseeing the workflow. Training is provided, so no experience is necessary.
Volunteers should save the date for a Feb. 27 kickoff dinner.
