Building The Commons: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays weekly
Building The Commons at Rebuilding Center: Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:30am to 3:00pm weekly until the project is complete
Time Commitment: Jump in when and where you can! It would be best to see the project to completion, yet we’re happy to involve anyone who’s handy in a wood shop (or wants to be).
Here's a chance to get involved, hands-on, in some Creative Reuse! The Rebuilding Center has been working with a team of designers to create a wonderful new space. Help renovate The Commons to serve as a welcoming place for the community. When completed, The Commons of The ReBuilding Center will show off dozens of volunteers' work and commitment while telling the story of Our United Villages through salvaged building material.
We are forming a team of carpenters to see this vision out! If you are interested in carpentry and cabinetry, contact Dave to put together a time to meet with the team!
Dan Archer Sketches for Social Justice
The Community Legacy Program is a project of Rebuilding Center which engages and strengthens the social fabric of our community through storytelling.
Let’s meet artist Dan Archer. Dan sketches as “a kind of graphic slow journalism.” Sean O’Connor, our Outreach and Strategic Coordinator, connected with Dan at a conference on community engagement and journalism.
In this short film, Sean explores Dan’s unique and personal approach to how he sees and records the world, as he engages with people through his art. Check out Dan’s website to learn more about his eclectic background of service, politics and activism: he’s been involved in game-changing projects in India and Nepal as well as the US and Great Britain.
