Get Involved In Your Community, Neighbor to Neighbor
Volunteers are at the heart of our services!
Rebuilding Together Metro Denver helps volunteers make
a difference in the lives of low-income homeowners through
various opportunities, including construction, administration
and fundraising. By virtue of strong relationships, a combination
of talents, compassion and excellent organization skills
we are able to produce $3 of service for every $1 donation.
We have one-day or on-going opportunities throughout the
year. You may participate in any phase of our services from
the initial homeowner application process through construction,
rebuilding and after. For information, contact Mary Brook.

houses The Women’s Bean Project, an organization
committed to teaching job readiness and life skills to
local women transitioning from poverty and homelessness,
and planting trees in collaboration with the City of Denver

for pedestrians in the Curtis Park neighborhood. All three
projects are part of a combined rebuilding plan.Click
