About this Opportunity

Brief Organizational Description: 
Better Housing Coalition changes lives and transforms communities through high-quality, affordable housing.

Volunteer Position Description and Purpose:
BHC is seeking 5-8 individuals or a group to stain and seal the wooden beam barrier of a playground and also stain and seal a new picnic table that is at the community playground for resident use. The playground has not been touched up since the early 2010's and with many families and children of all ages living at the property, we want to ensure families have a safe area to spend time at outdoors.

Ability to hold and utilize a paint brush.

Time Commitment:
Anytime between 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. Project should not take any longer than 3 hours.

  • BHC staff will give a brief overview of the project and instructions upon arrival.
