Volunteer: Build at Animal Shelter, Young Professionals January 9, 2010

If you like “Habitat for Humanity” then you will love this! We are going to put together two teams of Young Professionals to assist in creating indoor/outdoor pens for dogs.

The goal will be to create 5-6 pens, 4 of which will have free access to outdoor pens. This project will involve some light construction, painting, and other Habitat for Humanity type work. NO SKILLS are required and we need 24 Young Professionals in all!

Where You Will Be Working:
You will be working in a well insulated garage that is heated with portable heaters. Please bring layers and winter clothes (hat, scarf, etc) so if you find the work space too cold you can layer up.

Supervision:
The effort will be supervised by a construction volunteer who has been working with the organization on this project.

Schedule:
We are going to break the workday up into 2 shifts. If you want to stay all day please sign up for both shifts by putting a deposit down twice.
Shift A 10am – 1:15pm
Shift B 1:15pm – 4pm

Deposits:
Because they are relying on us we are asking that all volunteers put down a FULLY REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $10.99. The $10.99 will be returned to all who attend the event. Cancellations will be accepted up until noon on the day before the volunteering event.

RSVP (to the right) and we will let you know when the event is almost full.
