Volunteering provides individuals with an opportunity to meet new people, to work with a group, and to build connections in the local communities where they live and work.

Joining Extreme Community Makeover for a Work Day builds volunteerism into your life, while providing the following benefits:

• Meet new people. Volunteering alongside others provides opportunities to get to know new people who also enjoy volunteering.

• Learn about local communities. Getting involved in projects beyond one’s back door broadens knowledge of other people and places throughout the city.

• Become a leader. Developing leadership skills often happens naturally while getting involved in a cause that is important.

• Have fun. Getting outside and getting your hands dirty in the company of new friends is a great way to have fun.
