Volunteer Needs
If you can help with any of the below items, please contact Hilary Greene
 
 
Registration Coordinator for Fox Hill Road Mashpee site! We need someone to coordinate the registration crew for each build day (Tuesdays and Saturdays)- and we also need registration crew members.
 
Women Build experienced construction volunteers!
 We need 3-4 more experienced women construction volunteers to help lead our volunteers at our upcoming Women Build project.
 
Women Build Site Hosts
This is a non-construction on-site volunteer position and we need 3-4 women to help us build the Women Build spirit at the build site every day.
 
Mugs for coffee break!
At our 10:00 break time at each of our sites, we use real mugs, not paper cups for our coffee to keep green! So if you've got some gently used mugs that are just taking up cabinet space, donate them to us for our thirsty workers! 
 
Kayak Raffle tickets sellers needed!
Our beautiful handmade kayak will be at over 35 events this year and we need folks to help sell tickets at each event. Upcoming dates are July 31-August 1 in Sandwich, August 7-8 in Chatham, August 14 in Harwich, August 19-21 in Brewster, August 22 in Cotuit and August 25-26 in Chatham. Contact the volunteer coordinators listed to the right if you can help out!
