Want to Make a Difference in 2013? Join an ECM Extreme Team!

If you're looking for a way to make an impact this year, take a look at the Extreme Teams with Extreme Community Makeover.  These teams are comprised of individuals who use their skills and passion to make a difference through the work ECM does by making memories of volunteer projects through photography, capturing stories of resident experiences through video, planning fundraising events, initiating supply connections with local businesses, translating between English and Spanish, and much more.  Let us know which team you're interested in through using the form on our website by clicking here.

Program Team

 

Help Work Days run more efficiently by checking in volunteers, selling t-shirts, helping with lunch preparations, cleaning up, and helping with other miscellaneous tasks.

Capture what happens during Work Days through taking photos of residents and volunteers. These photos will be used for multiple communication purposes, including thanking volunteers and creating memories for everyone.

Supervise projects during Work Days while being available to answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and ensure projects are completed, while stepping in as a Project Leader when groups are unable to identify someone for that role.

Tell stories of residents and volunteers working together on projects during Work Days, as well as filming direct interviews to be used in social media and other communication venues.
