What you can expect to work on:
No construction experience required!
We are currently working on a new construction duplex project in Westerly. Our team of volunteers complete most of the construction work with the guidance of our construction staff. Training is provided, and you’ll only be asked to do tasks you’re comfortable with.

Position Duties Include:
- Follow directions from site leaders to complete assigned tasks
- Follow safety guidelines and speak up if uncomfortable with a task

- Do your best work and clean up at the end of your shift
- Tasks may include painting, framing, carpentry, landscaping, and more
- Closed-toe shoes are required
Suggestions:
- Dress in clothes you don't mind getting dirty
- Dress for weather conditions (rain, cold, heat)
- Bring a reusable water bottle and lunch
- We will provide you with all tools and safety equipment for the day
