Frequently asked questions

We are currently building two homes in Cape Porpoise

Volunteers have the opportunity to spend a half day (8:30-12:00) or a full day (8:30-3:30) on the build site. The day begins with a short intoduction about what the day will entail. The construction manager will teach volunteers how to complete the daily assignments. There will be a break for lunch around 12:00 (not provided).

Masks are currently optional. If you are feeling sick or have a known covid exposure please stay home and register for a different volunteer day.
