Can I Still Help If I Do Not Want To Build?
We need people to do many different tasks. If you do not want to build, there is still plenty to do.

·  Volunteer Table ­ Staff our Volunteer table and help volunteers sign in

·  Food Service ­ Setup for meals in the food service area

·  Tools Trailer ­ Help check tools in and out of the Tools trailer

·  Childcare ­ Lend a hand in the childcare facility

Can I Leave To Pick Up My Kids?
Yes! We are building this playground for our children, and we realize that many of you do have families and obligations. Please let you supervisor (captain or committee head) know when you will have to leave and when you will return so that they can ensure that provisions are made if necessary.

Can I Work A Partial Shift?
Yes. We will try to be as flexible as possible. However, that being said, we do prefer that you work a full shift so that we can keep to the construction schedule planned by Leathers & Associates. Each shift is a 4 hour slot of time.

Do I Need To Sign Up In Advance?
No, you do not need to sign up in advance. However, we hope that you WILL sign up in advance since that will help us to determine how many workers we will need to feed, how many children we will need to care for, etc.

Do I Need To Live In PBCE To Participate?
No! Anyone and everyone is welcome at the build.

How Will I Know Where To Go/What To Do?
When you sign in at the Volunteer table, workers there will determine your area of interest and help you get where you need to go. Once in the appropriate area, captains/committee heads will explain your task and help you get situated. Feel free to ask questions at any time. All captains/committee heads will wear colored t-shirts for easy identification.

If you want to help build, you will be assigned to a team of 3 or 4 persons. Each team has ONE skilled worker and 2 or 3 unskilled workers. You will work with your team to complete tasks assigned by a captain.

Who Is A Skilled Worker?
The definition of a skilled worker is someone who is able to use a circular saw. Skilled workers will wear a colored nametag for identification.

What If I Want To Build, But Am Not Skilled?
Great! We need every bit of help we can get. There will be many tasks for unskilled workers. Volunteers who want to help build are assigned to work in 3 or 4 person teams. Each team has ONE skilled person and 2 or 3 unskilled persons. If you can rake or sand wood, there is a job for you!

Who Is A Captain?
A captain is an individual who commits to be part of the build from 7am to 9pm for the duration of the build or a good part of it. Captains are assigned different areas of responsibility by our Site Supervisors from Leathers & Associates. If you are interested in being a captain, please email Bill Meyers. Captains will help their teams by assigning tasks, ensuring quality, and helping wherever necessary. This is a special job requiring much dedication.

What Should I Wear?
Work clothes appropriate for the weather. Remember that we do build if it is rainy or cold, so please come prepared. If you are building, please wear work clothes. Open-toed shoes are not permitted on the work site. Do not wear jewelry, but do bring a hat in case of sun or rain.

·  Hammer

·  Safety goggles

·  Tape measure

·  Utility knives
