1. Welcome to Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley

As a Volunteer Leader for Rebuilding Together, we ask that you attend an hour-long training event in order to learn more about our organization and to learn the details about how you'll be involved.

Here are the 3 Volunteer Leadership Positions that each project needs:
HOUSE CAPTAIN

The House Captain is the person in charge on Rebuilding Day and is responsible for planning and managing a safe, quality project that will be a meaningful and enjoyable experience for volunteers and homeowners alike. House Captains are responsible for everything from creating a materials list for the work that needs to be done, to determining how many volunteers are needed to do the work, to purchasing and obtaining donated materials, to overseeing work on the workdays.

PROJECT COORDINATOR

The Project Coordinator assists and supports the House Captain in every aspect of the project. The House Captain manages the repairs at the site and the Project Coordinator is the liaison between the House Captain and the volunteers. It is the goal of the Project Coordinator to look after the well being of each volunteer at their site, make sure they have work to do, are taking breaks when needed and have a good Rebuilding Day experience. If they are from a sponsoring or participating group, they are typically the person who recruits and keeps volunteers informs before Rebuilding Day.

HOMEOWNER COMPANION

The Homeowner Companion plays an essential role, representing the interest of the homeowner during the Rebuilding Day project. Homeowner Companions get to know the homeowner, are sensitive to the homeowner’s needs and feelings, and support and guide the homeowner through the process.
