The Build Team

The A-Team started out in our Affiliate as a group of retired guys with construction or handyman experience who enjoyed working together on the more challenging aspects of home building.  Over time, more people have joined the A-Team, and now we have both men and women.  The only "requirement" for membership is that members work with the team every week when they are in town and not otherwise engaged. A number of our members are "snowbirds", so year-round workers are much appreciated.  

Except during Collegiate Challenge (towards end of February and beginning of March), the A-Team usually works every Thursday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 12 noon.  They do not usually work during the month of August.  During Collegiate Challenge, A-Team members act as mentors for college students who give up their Spring breaks to build homes with us.  The workday is split into morning and afternoon shifts.  It runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday with half an hour for lunch.  Members can work as many or as few shifts or days as they wish, but everyone tries to schedule some time with the students. It's a great experience!

The Weekend Warriors is another group of volunteers who dedicate a ton of time to our organization, but it's mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. 

Together, we refer to these two groups as the Build Team! (Please also know that our Construction Committee (-click to link) is also a part of our Build Team.
