Construction Volunteer

General Construction Volunteers work on our construction sites to help build affordable homes for working families in the City of Waco. While working on construction-related tasks with the homebuyer and other volunteers and by following safety guidelines, you can be part of the solution to poverty housing. No previous experience is required.
