Help us guide our community partners in building playhouses sure to delight young children! Our Playhouse Program brings groups together to support our mission of affordable housing solutions to create a generational impact. Your role as a Playhouse Build Event Support volunteer is to provide support while sponsoring groups build children’s playhouses to donate to families and community charities. Volunteer space is limited.
