groups & team building
Group classes & volunteering are a great way to share fun and new skills among friends or coworkers. We have a whole menu of hands-on classes and volunteer opportunities for teams to learn some new skills while getting to know one another again. Building a table, making a mosaic, de-nailing a rack of lumber, or performing much needed home maintenance during our biannual Day of Service - these are all available for groups through our education & volunteer departments.
Group Classes
Geared towards private groups that want to take one of our existing classes together, whether friends and family, workplace teams, youth groups, neighborhood associations, or your own flavor of network. Everyone in the group engages with their own project in a fun and educational setting that encourages skill-building, collaboration, creativity, and camaraderie.
Non-profit and community group pricing available.

Group Volunteering
Rebuilding Center hosts a wide variety of volunteer groups from schools, businesses, organizations and more. Year-round, you may be helping out in any number of ways, be it sorting materials in the store, de-nailing lumber, or spiffing up ReBuilding Center.

Group volunteer denailing projects take place anytime throughout the year, with a minimum of five volunteers. Denailing is a critical step in taking reclaimed lumber from deconstructed houses and turning it into material that can be circulated back into community for home repair and building projects. It's not physically demanding and is a great team-building opportunity!

Day of Service will take place on June 11, 2022, and then again in autumn.
Every year we team up with the African American Alliance for Homeownership to perform critical home maintenance and repairs for up to 20 homeowners living with low incomes in North and Northeast Portland. While anyone can volunteer, we are always seeking skilled tradespeople to lead our volunteer teams.
Corporate groups can volunteer as a team to work on one home project together, and can sponsor their project's materials costs with a gift of $1,000.
