Handy Volunteer Program
Three Levels of "Handy"
We help low-income older adults & individuals with disabilities age in place safely by providing home repairs at no cost to the homeowner. Most repairs provided are not complex and are the type a handy homeowner could complete themselves.
​
Whether you're already a DIY-er, handy pro looking to give back, or would like to be more handy around a house, we've got a place for you.

​HANDY PROS
​
Already skilled? Whether you are a trades professional, retired from the trades or have spent countless hours renovating your own home or business and have picked up those repair skills along the way, we have projects who could really use your help. If this sounds like you, fill out a contact form and confirm you're okay with a background check (a requirement for going into homeowners homes), and we'll reach out to get you connected. You'll be directly assigned projects from our team once you're up and running.
​
Not a full-blown trades professional, but pretty comfortable with general repairs? Okay with helping guide someone as they learn those same skills? You would be a great addition to our Handy Volunteer Program. The Home Repair Program has an overflow of smaller handy projects that just need 2-3 people to complete. All would be appropriate for a homeowner with the skills and knowledge and all materials and supplies can be provided. We just need you! Fill out this contact form, confirm you're okay with a background check and we will get the process started. Once approved, you can claim projects from the Open Projects for Handy Volunteers page.

YouTube can only get you so far. You've got the drive and you want the skills. If you also have time to share throughout the week or Saturdays, we can pair you with someone with the skills to walk you through a home repair project. Hands on learning while helping a homeowner in need. It's a win-win. Fill out this contact form and confirm you're okay with a background check and we'll get you plugged in. As a note, this program is a work in progress and we welcome frequent feedback.
