“Build It” is a program that aims to support our volunteers as they become more involved with their community while developing their personal skill set in tool use and woodworking. Over the six month duration of the program, participants work one shift per week at the VTL and receive monthly training and workshops, as well as all the necessary materials, to support them completing their dream wood working project.

  • A weekly volunteer shift in the VTL shop
  • Dedication and commitment to the VTL’s principles and values

Our Commitment to Participants:

  • The materials, parts and tools to work on a project
  • Monthly training and workshops on how to build your dream project

  • Honesty and integrity in the work that they do
