Volunteer Opportunities
Home Repairs for Good, formerly NeighborLink Indianapolis, started with a handful of volunteers looking to help older adults with home repairs. Nothing intense, just those little things that become big things over time. We've not lost that, in fact, that's the bulk of our Home Repair Program. Volunteers are the key to its success and progress in serving, low-income individuals with disabilities and homeowners 62+ in Marion County, at no cost. Jump in and volunteer where it makes the most sense for you.
Volunteer for a Project
Have some time to volunteer? Join an open volunteer project, bring a friend or meet someone while you volunteer! No skills needed, just a little muscle and sweat. Create an account and you're able to sign up for projects that fit you!
Teambuilding
There is no better teambuilding than putting your hands to work to help out someone in need. Let us know the size and interest of your group. We book group projects four to six weeks in advance for shifts Wednesday - Friday and Saturday mornings.
Handy Volunteer Program
Have handy skills or looking to learn them? We've done tool trainings and connected handy pros with projects as well as learners with skilled. Grow your knowledge while helping out an older adult or someone with disabilities in need with home repairs. This program is a work in progress.
Other Volunteer Opportunities
Home Repairs are our most noticeable volunteer opportunities, but there are plenty of other ways to volunteer. Conversations with homeowners - whether in person or on the phone are a critical way we receive information and data. And projects need leaders - whether they excel at sharing the mission of our organization or ensuring volunteers are safely working and have what they need.

Phone Intake Volunteer
Be the first point of contact for a homeowner in need! This volunteer opportunity can be done from your home, a cafe, school, wherever you have access to the internet, a phone, and a computer.
Vetting Volunteer
This role visits homeowners at their home and walks them through an online form for vetting purposes. This process helps determine eligibility for the homeowner and for their project to be accepted for Home Repairs for Good’s free home repairs.

Enjoy talking to groups? Help be the go-to for group volunteer projects, ensuring volunteers are safely doing the work and have what they need or help connect the dots from the work their doing that day to the bigger picture of the mission of Home Repairs for Good.
Teambuilding with Group Volunteer Projects
You can help champion the Home Repairs for Good cause by connecting us to or helping to organize a group to volunteer together. Repairs for Good provides great service and team building opportunities for businesses, faith-based organizations, schools, etc where volunteers get to see and feel the immediate impact of their work.
We are happy to speak to groups or at events about our organization. If you have a group you would like to sign up for a project, fill out our Group Volunteer form.
Our average group size is 8-12 volunteers per site. We can discuss potential for larger group sizes with a minimum of three months notice depending on how large the desired group is.
We do ask groups contribute to the cost of materials, supplies and equipment needed to accomplish the project. This allows us to continue providing that much needed service for the homeowner at no cost.
