A Brush With Kindness Regular Crew Construction Volunteer

Volunteer Service Description:
Volunteers will work alongside ABWK staff and homeowners to paint, conduct minor repairs of all kinds and landscape owner-occupied homes.  The ABWK Regular Crew will volunteer every Wednesday April through October.  

Volunteer Impact:
The A Brush With Kindness program is a neighborhood outreach program within Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity that refurbishes homes of low-income residents, especially those experiencing challenging circumstances such as single parent families, advanced age, disability or poor health. This program helps homeowners remain in safe and affordable homes.

Skill Qualifications:
There are no minimum skill requirements.

Age Requirements:
For safety reasons, children under the age of 16 are not allowed on site.  All volunteers under the age of 18 must have adult supervision from a parent or adult friend.  Youth ages 16-17 are required to have one adult for up to four youth.

Time Commitment: Middle
Regular volunteers work for an entire day on a site, once per week.  Crews generally work from 9:00 am-4pm. Volunteers are asked to make an initial commitment of at least 2 full days per month.  

Training & Supervision:
All volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation session.  Volunteers will be supervised by our ABWK staff or our AmeriCorps members.

Once the new volunteer has joined the crew on site, s/he will report to the regular Crew Leader and will move from site to site with that specific crew. The Crew Leader reports to the Site Supervisor, a Habitat employee.
