Salvaged Building Materials: Building Community (age 14+) *STW 2016*
The ReBuilding Center's DeConstruction services gleans usable building materials from area structures destined for demolition. The materials that come from these projects need a little help on their way back into our local communities. Volunteers from around the city will converge upon the ReBuilding Center for a reclamation activity focused on making these materials usable once more! Common duties include pulling nails from lumber, learning about and labeling various qualities of lumber so they can find the right home, and more.
We'll meet at our Community Trees entrance, about mid-way through our N. Mississippi Ave storefront to meet up with the rest of the crew and ReBuilding Center staff to get the project kicked off. If you have work gloves and/or eye protection, bring it! If not, no sweat, we have plenty of spares to lend out for the day. Dress for the weather, as we may be outdoors for a portion of the project. Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes - we'll be working in a warehouse environment!
Note: Volunteers age 14-16 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.
