About this Opportunity
Brief Organizational Description: Our creative, holistic approach to those affected by unemployment, underemployment who are formerly incarcerated or returning from rehabilitation puts into practice the ultimate goal of helping people become independent. We encourage all our participants to improve their own lives as well as being part of making this entire community grow and prosper.
In everything, Boaz & Ruth seeks to be a part of the Highland Park neighborhood rather than an agency that is “doing to” or “doing for” the neighborhood. We believe that presence is more important than perfection and change takes consistent reinforcement and practice.

We are looking for a skilled construction volunteer to lead and help construct a simple wood frame awning to cover the porch at one of our affordable housing apartment units. This is a single day volunteer opportunity that will take place between Monday, June 16 to Thrusday, June 19. The plans for the awning can be seen here: https://manabouttools.com/awning-frame-digital-plan/
Volunteer Duties & Responsibilities:
The construction volunteer will construct a simple wood frame awning while we are hosting a teen work camp that week. The volunteer may seek assistance from the 16 yr old or older teens so long as the teenagers do not use power tools.
Qualifications, Skills, & Requirements:
