Volunteer With Us
Volunteers are at the heart of Rebuilding Together Charles County. By giving your time, skills, and energy, you can help a local homeowner live in a safer, healthier, and more accessible home.
You Can Make a Difference
Some volunteers arrive with years of construction experience. Others simply arrive ready to work and learn. Both are valuable. Volunteer assignments are based on project needs, safety requirements, experience, and available supervision.
Volunteer Opportunities
General Project Volunteers
General volunteers may help with:
- Painting and preparation
- Yard cleanup and landscaping
- Trash and debris removal
- Light repairs and basic maintenance
- Moving supplies and organizing project materials

Skilled Trades and Experienced Volunteers
We especially welcome licensed professionals and experienced volunteers in areas such as:
- Carpentry
- Electrical work
- Plumbing
- Roofing
- Flooring
- HVAC and weatherization
- Accessibility modifications and ramp construction
- Project planning, estimating, and site leadership
Work requiring a license, permit, or specialized training must be completed or supervised by properly qualified individuals.
Groups and Teams
Businesses, churches, schools, civic organizations, professional associations, community groups, families, and friends are encouraged to volunteer together. Group projects are a meaningful way to build teamwork while directly helping Charles County residents.
Volunteer groups may be matched with a project based on the size of the team, available skills, sponsorship level, project schedule, and homeowner needs.
Behind-the-Scenes Volunteers
Not every volunteer role involves construction. We may also need help with:
- Homeowner outreach and follow-up
- Volunteer registration
- Fundraising and sponsorship outreach
- Photography and storytelling
- Social media and community awareness
- Food and refreshments for project teams
- Administrative and event support
National Rebuilding Month
April is National Rebuilding Month, with National Rebuilding Day traditionally held near the end of the month. This is one of our largest opportunities for volunteers and community partners to come together for hands-on service. Other volunteer opportunities may be offered throughout the year as projects and resources become available.
What Volunteers Should Know
- Volunteer placement is based on current project needs and available supervision.
- All volunteers must follow project-site safety instructions.
- Some assignments may require specific experience, licenses, tools, or protective equipment.
- Age requirements and adult-supervision rules may vary by project.
- Volunteers may be required to complete a registration form, waiver, or release before participating.
- Project dates may change because of weather, permits, materials, or homeowner circumstances.
