AmeriCorps
Aye-aye Captain.
I can’t hear you! Aye-aye CAPTAIN!
As we gear up for Rebuilding Day 2012, dedication and determination are the two factors that our captains have — both volunteer and construction captains. Being a captain means that one is given a mission and they are able to lead their crew to a successful Rebuilding Day. This mission consists of several steps that guide our captains and will ensure our homeowners and facilities with the promises RTSF has made, to rebuild.
AmeriBonfire Initiation
This past Saturday, the newest AmeriCorps members of Northern California were initiated which include both Jake Bryan from the Peninsula affiliate and myself, the newest member at RTSF. As part of our initiation, we were united by the four elements Earth, water, air, and fire. Initiation consisted of standing around a lightly lit fire pit at Ocean Beach, sand, burnt hot dogs, and high winds.. Freezing! Fortunately, AmeriBonfire was a success since we haven’t seen each other after MLK work week in Pittsburgh. Read More »
An AmeriCorps Adventure: One Month Anniversary
It’s been about a month and a half since Rebuilding Together San Francisco and I have gotten together. It has been a wild ride so far and its only going to get wilder as our Fall Build day approaches. So far the adventure has been full of early mornings, late nights, boat rides, disappearing weekends, dinners, painting, scavenger hunts, Tahitian dancing, sword balancing, rock cover bands, duck hunt, BART rides and capacity building.
Rebuilding Together – Building a Healthy Neighborhood
Group photo at the end of event day 1!
As a part of the CapacityCorps program, we have had the opportunity to travel and work in different areas of the country. We have built houses in New Orleans and Lafayette, Louisiana and last week, Denver for Rebuilding Together’s Building a Healthy Neighborhood event. We led the volunteers from some of our favorite sponsors (Lowe’s & Wells Fargo) and new volunteers as well! This was also the lead-up event to the National Healthy Homes Conference, hosted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Read More »
