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. email Mary

It is truly gratifying
to serve a cause, practice one’s ideals,
work with people, solve problems, see benefits,
and know one had a hand in them.”
