Volunteer with us
Weaverland Disaster Service works through Weaverland Conference affiliated churches. Groups are arranged by each congregation's own VS representative.
How a group gets connected
- Talk to your congregation's VS representative. Every participating church has one. They're the person who arranges groups and speaks to our office on your behalf.
- Pick a week. Have a look at the open dates . Your representative requests it for you.
- Wait for confirmation. Sometimes more than one group asks for the same week, so our office confirms who's coming. Your representative will hear back either way.
- Come and work. Lodging, meals, and on-site hosting are arranged for you. Your representative passes on the details.
What a week looks like
Most work periods run Monday through Friday, occasionally through Saturday. A typical group brings somewhere between six and twenty people, with adult chaperones travelling with them. The work is cleanup, repair, and rebuilding — no particular trade skill is required, though it always helps to have a few people who've swung a hammer before.
