about rebuilding center
ReBuilding Center is on a mission to make reuse and repair accessible to all as a means to reduce waste, end overconsumption, and empower homeowners and renters by making better use of our existing resources. We know that the ability to perform home repairs is one of the key factors in keeping people in their homes longer, especially people living with low incomes, and with the high cost of building materials our services are needed now more than ever. Through our huge retail warehouse of affordable reclaimed building materials and our repair skills classes, we aim to normalize reuse and help people perform safe, affordable, sustainable home repairs and improvements to build economic resilience, keep stuff out of landfills, and keep people in their homes.
What’s it like to work at ReBuilding Center? For starters, you can bring your whole self to work. Our team finds joy in their work, and we make sure the people we serve find joy in their experience with us. We’re a scrappy bunch, focused on sustainability, respect for ourselves and our community, and teamwork. And we continually learn and improve our practices, policies, environment, and culture to move in the direction of becoming an actively anti-racist organization. We love this place!
ReBuilding Center is an Equal Opportunity Employer and we maintain a team that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. Over and above our commitment to non-discrimination, we seek to employ members of the community who have experienced poverty and members of historically marginalized groups.
