Join us on our first day in the beautiful coastal town of Bolinas to ready two prefabricated homes! On this day, we need skilled volunteers, handy amateurs and weekend do it yourselfers to get our project started. Take on the critical tasks that will help ease the way for community volunteers to continue your work building and installing fences, decks and landscaping. The goal is to finish at the end of the month. Work together with future homeowners as they put their sweat equity towards their dream of owning their own home in Marin.

Getting there: We appreciate your desire to help in this location as Bolinas is a little remote and the roads, winding. Unfortunately, easy public transportation is non-existent. Make sure that you turn on your GPS before you get in too deep as cell signal may be spotty.
Prepare: To be ready for strenuous physical labor, please get a good night’s sleep and a full breakfast before your build day. Snacks and water will be available but please remember to pack a lunch. There are no places close by to purchase food. Also, review the Top 10 Safety Tips before coming to the site. Remember to wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes (work boots are ideal), long pants, and a long sleeves shirt that you don’t mind getting dirty/ruined. If you have your own mask, work gloves and safety goggles, please bring them. Although we have limited PPE available, bringing your own helps us reduce costs. Prepare to be outside in any weather with layers and sun protection. Leave valuables at home, and please watch this safety video to learn about your volunteer day and ways you can stay safe at the construction site.
