Office Volunteers

Description

Volunteers play a crucial role in the life of Urban Homeworks. Volunteering on an Urban Homeworks site is more than just a day to do "something good." It is time spent reweaving a tapestry of community that crosses boundaries and teaches us something about ourselves. While the activity is practical and essential to the progress of our work, true "community development" centers around relationships. This is a great place for you or your group to start engaging in perpetuating the hope!
