Are you a skilled and enthusiastic carpenter looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity? Join our Carpenter’s Sons Ministry and make a positive impact on the lives of elderly and disabled individuals.
As a Carpenter’s Son, you will get to use your hands-on skills to build and repair structures that directly benefit these amazing people. Imagine helping them feel safer in their homes and making it easier for them to get in and out. It’s a truly rewarding experience!
Our Carpenter’s Sons get together on Tuesday mornings for coffee and fellowship, and then we head out to tackle various home repair projects around the community. And don’t worry if you’re not a seasoned carpenter. The Carpenter’s Sons are always happy to teach and mentor new volunteers, so you can learn and grow alongside experienced professionals.
Here’s what you can expect
- Assist with construction and repair of wooden structures like shelves, cabinets, framing, ramps, and furniture.
- Use power tools and hand tools safely and responsibly.
- Measure, cut, and assemble wood and other materials accurately.
- Help set up and clean up worksites, ensuring safety and order.
- Follow blueprints, designs, or instructions provided by supervisors.
- Maintain a safe and organized work environment.
- Collaborate with other volunteers and staff to complete projects on time.
- Offer input and craftsmanship knowledge when appropriate.
If you have carpentry skills or experience (professional or hobbyist level is welcome), or if you’re just starting, we’d love to have you on board! Basic knowledge of tools, materials, and construction methods is a plus, but we’re open to learning from you.
Lifting materials and working on feet for extended periods is okay, as long as you have the strength and stamina. Attention to detail and a commitment to quality craftsmanship are essential. Following instructions and working independently or as part of a team is also important.
And the best part? You’ll get to use your talents to directly help those in need, gain satisfaction from hands-on community improvement, and develop and refine your carpentry skills. You’ll also network with other skilled volunteers and tradespeople, and earn community service or volunteer hours.
So, if you’re ready to make a difference and have some fun, join our Carpenter’s Sons Ministry today! We can’t wait to welcome you to our community.
