The work of Rebuilding Together Austin would not be possible without the sponsors and volunteers who donate their resources, time, and skills to help homeowners in need. Participating in a Rebuilding Together Austin workday is a memorable team-building experience that makes a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors in need.
Rebuilding Together Austin serves low-income homeowners who are elderly, living with a disability, families with children, or veterans. We also serve nonprofit organizations or public institutions, like schools, in need of facility repairs.
Groups

The scope of work on each home varies depending on the need of the home and the skill set of the volunteers. We focus on critical health and safety repairs. This can include minor plumbing, electrical, carpentry, weatherization, yard work, painting, and general clean-up.
We have volunteer opportunities for large or small groups as well as individuals, depending on your skills and time commitment. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old or minors may be accompanied by an adult.
