Group Volunteer Opportunities
Want to Make a Real Difference—Together?
Whether you’re a church group, business team, club, or just a few friends ready to serve, your group has the power to bring hope to a neighbor in need—no special skills required.
​
At Servants, we call these hands-on group opportunities Home Help Days. You’ll spend the day working on meaningful home repairs—like building a ramp or making a bathroom safer—for someone who truly needs it.
​
You bring the willing hands. We provide the tools, materials, and leadership.
​
By the end of the day, you won’t just see a repaired home—you’ll see the immediate difference you made in someone’s life. And your group will walk away closer, stronger, and inspired.​

Group Size, Age, and Skill Requirements
We're flexible! Whether you have a small team or a large group, we can accommodate your needs and provide a suitable project. If your group is larger, we may split the build into two groups. This allows everyone to stay busy and engaged all day. All ages are welcome on-site, as long as the team arranges for appropriate adult supervision. We really mean it when we say that our group volunteers don’t need to have any previous building experience! We’ll work with you to find a project that meets your group’s skill level. We’ll also provide the materials, tools, safety equipment, and a trained Project Manager to lead your project.
How it Works
Step One: Contact Servants A volunteer group coordinator contacts Servants to choose a project date and indicate which County and community they’d like to serve. Home Help Days can be scheduled for any day of the week, EXCEPT SUNDAYS. A Servants team member will ask additional questions to determine if there are opportunities available for your team. We recommend reaching out 8+ weeks ahead of time. Step Two: Finalize a Date Once a project date is finalized, the group coordinator recruits 7-10 coworkers, friends, or church members to participate in the Home Helps Day. Step Three: Prepare Your Group In the days leading up to the Home Helps Day, Servants will communicate specifics about the Home Help Day to the group coordinator. This will include project specifics, information about the homeowner you’ll be helping, what to wear, where to park, and any other special considerations. Step Four: Show Up Ready to Serve! The volunteer group attends the Home Helps Day and serves a neighbor in need.
Types of Projects
Most of our group projects are one-day projects (7-9 hours on-site), indoors or outdoors. These may include: -Accessibility Ramps -Accessibility repairs, such as a porch or a deck -Floor replacement and repairs -Minor plumbing or toilet repair -Safety rails and hand rails -Yard work -Painting -Deck Staining
A Day in the Life on Site
What to Expect on Your Home Helps Day
Arrival & Orientation
Group volunteers arrive to the worksite between 8:30-9:00 am and are greeted by their Project Manager. The Project Manager takes you through a brief orientation:
-
Prayer
-
​Check-in and safety talk
-
Overview of project plan for completion
-
Tour of the tools and introduction to the equipment needed for the day
-
Assigning tasks
Build Time
Once assigned tasks, volunteers start work on the project. This typically looks like:
-
3-4 volunteers for framing
-
​2-3 volunteers for cutting boards
-
2-3 volunteers for laying deck boards
​
Since Home Help Days are an all-day event, lunch breaks are scheduled for about 12 pm. Each group is responsible for providing their own lunch. Lunch is a great opportunity for other volunteers from your church to get involved and provide lunch for the volunteers who are building the ramp.
After the project is complete, volunteers clean up the worksite, pack up the tools, and head home.
​
Remember, every interaction with the homeowner is an opportunity to build something more lasting than any home improvement. When they're present, set aside the tools and share a moment of genuine connection. The work will be completed, but the warmth of human interaction is a gift that will truly enrich their lives and yours.
