Salvage Building Materials (age 14+) *STW 2013*
Support the second “R” -- Reduce, REUSE, recycle! Help reduce the flow of usable building materials into the waste stream by volunteering at the Rebuilding Center's non-profit resource center for used building materials. We'll be doing a hands-on project. Come ready to work and have fun! We will be working with the various building materials that are donated to The ReBuilding Center on a daily basis.
Tasks may include: pulling nails, organizing tile, hardware, trim & moulding, putting materials away, and measuring doors and windows. Other possible tasks may include painting and possibly some yardwork/landscaping.
Closed toe shoes are required. Bring a water bottle and work gloves if you have them. Please dress for the weather -- our building is not climate controlled. Some tasks may involve medium to heavy lifting.
Youth (under 18) are welcome with parent or guardian. Gather at the big brown community trees (you'll know them when you see them) on Mississippi Avenue, just north of Fremont. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you!
Note: Volunteers age 14-18 may volunteer along with a responsible adult.
Project Requirements:
-
All volunteers under 18 are required to bring a Hands On Youth Waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian. (print it now, fill it out, and bring it with you to save time during project check in).
-
If you plan to bring children/additional volunteers you MUST reserve slots for them. The best way to do this is to create a Volunteer Team, then sign up your team for this project. Questions? Email teams@handsonportland.org
IMPORTANT NOTE: You are responsible for ensuring that everyone signed up through your team attends - only sign up team members who have confirmed their availability. Teams that repeatedly sign up, but do not show up or show up with fewer volunteers than they signed up, may be removed. To add or remove team members from a project: log in to your volunteer account and click "Manage My Team" next to the appropriate upcoming opportunity.
