Volunteer Application: Ramp Building

Things to know for Volunteers

Plan on staying until the ramp is finished. Some ramps take longer than others due to size, complexity, and amount of on-site customization. If you must leave at a certain time, please make this known at the warehouse as ramp assignments are being made. On average, ramps are finished by 2:00 PM but that is not a guarantee.

Be prepared for safe construction work – flip flops or similar shoes are unsafe and should not be worn. We also need to have at least two adults able to use an electric drill/screwdriver and assist other volunteers.

Bring drills (at least one for every two people), work gloves, lunch (or snacks) and plenty of water.

We’re sorry but insurance prevents us from allowing kids under the age of 16 on the build site. We also ask that there be at least two adult supervisors at the site (in case one has to leave and take someone somewhere, there would still be a supervisor on site for the remainder of the minors). We so, however, have painting opportunities that might be suitable for kids 12 and older.

We cannot transport minors to/from the site.
