Extreme Team - Photography


Extreme Community Makeover has amazing volunteer opportunities. We have our typical Work Days and we also offer opportunities to get more involved with our Extreme Teams.

One one of the Extreme Teams is our Photography Team. You can 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.


Check out our video testimonial of Josh, a member of our Photography Extreme Team.

This past weekend we wrapped up our schedule of Saturday Work Days happening every other weekend.  2014 was another record setting year of volunteer involvement with 3,705 people participating in ECM projects, allowing us to partner with 251 residents to complete a project at their home!  What strikes me most about these numbers is that each person can truly make a difference.  The generosity of each of you who have given your time to lend a helping hand during a Work Day project, multiplied times 3,705, means we are creating a culture of helping others and demonstrating that we are better when we work together.  So thanks for your role in making "being a good neighbor" a tangible reality in communities around Denver!
