East TN Hub New Build Opportunities

PROJECT TYPES:
Volunteers serving in East TN may be placed on home repair, new construction, or disaster recovery projects. We ask groups to remain flexible on the type of project based on the biggest current need, project timing, and skill level match. Groups may request a specific type of project, but should be open to other project types as well. 

ASP invites volunteers from across the country to serve together with low-income families to build safe, new, replacement homes in the Tri-Cities area of Northeast Tennessee.

Volunteers Skill Level: Moderate to High

Each group must have at least one highly skilled leader. Larger groups may be asked to work on more than one project. We are in need of teams of volunteers, who are able to work independently. Lower skill volunteers are always welcome to assist with basic tasks and assist the crews.

Tasks: Projects will be assigned based on the construction schedule determined by the field staff and may include siding, roofing, insulation, flooring and trim, interior doors, porches and ramps, finishing tasks, cleaning, and/or yard work.

Group Size: Groups of up to 20 may serve at one time.

Accommodations and Meals: Groups will take care of their own accommodations and meals. Staff are happy to offer recommendations.

Local Volunteers: Volunteers within the East TN area are welcome to volunteer for a day, multiple days, a week at a time, or adopt a whole project.

Transportation: Groups will take care of their own transportation. Each work crew is required to have their own vehicle.

Mission Fee: There is no mission fee to serve with New Build. Groups are welcome to make a donation toward the cost of construction and/or sponsor a home.

Availability: Opportunities are scheduled throughout the year based on project funding, construction schedules, and availability of field staff. If you do not see your dates listed below, please reach out to us to see what we can work out: serve@asphome.org.
