Helping Build Dreams and Bring Your Ideas to Life.

Volunteer Tasks April and May

Please consider donating half a day to get a task or two done. We have lots of tasks, some require brawn, some require brains. Some tasks are high skill others are as easy as moving boxes.

We have broken down some of the jobs that need to be done into tasks that can be achieved in a few hours. Here's the list organized by room. The "Talk to" column shows who to talk to for more information about how to do the job. The "order" column is kind-of a priority system with 1 meaning "do this first" and then 2, 3, 4 are subsequent task.

Thank you
