VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteering to help build ramps is a fun, easy way to make a meaningful difference in your community.
What do Ramp Team Volunteers Do?
Our Ramp Team Volunteers help to build ramps for people with disabilities in Fairfield County.
-
Volunteers meet at the home where the ramp will be installed to help measure, dig, and cut, carry, screw, and nail wooden boards to make a ramp. Builds normally only take a few hours and are completed by early afternoon.
-
Being part of the ramp team is a fun experience. It's a great way to get outdoors and be active, and provides a fantastic opportunity to help those in need in a meaningful, personal way.
What does it take to be a Volunteer?
-
Our Ramp Volunteers are dependable, caring, and love to help others.
