About this Opportunity

Join us at Richmond ToolBank for an exciting evening volunteer series! 

This evening series operates bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings. Each session is designed to be fun, skill-building, and deeply impactful to further the ToolBank mission – providing tools, equipment & expertise to empower ambitious goals.

The Richmond Community ToolBank thrives on volunteerism.  As a small staff, we welcome volunteers of all experience levels to serve alongside us in the warehouse, so we can better support our Building Change program. Volunteers will support our programming through lumber inventory, miter saw training, lumber cutting, and checking quality building standards. Volunteers will use and learn power tools such as drills, drivers, and miter saws to measure, cut, count, and repair high volumes of lumber components and furniture pieces. Every participant walks away with new tool training knowledge, connections, and pride of contributing to something bigger than themselves.

Supporting Building Change

Building Change is Richmond ToolBank’s community give-back experience program that combines team building with real tool training to create lasting impact. Through Building Change corporate partners build placemaking furniture for community organizations in need, from picnic tables and benches to garden beds and more. Since opening our doors in 2015, Richmond ToolBank has equipped over 110,000 volunteers with expertise and equipment to complete over 20,000 projects. Building Change channels that collective energy into beautiful, lasting community assets, built right here in Richmond, for Richmond.
