Projects
Some individuals and groups love to swing a hammer or paint brush. We are small, but we have those opportunities. We can arrange work visits for any interested individual or group. Some are large than others, and some are projects that have to be acomplished through regular visits. These are examples, only. New opportunities are identified every day.
All visits and volunteer activities are coordinated by first contacting Stephen Velez-Confer, president. The Dorcas House Volunteer Coordinator will follow up to establish arrangements for you or your group. We can make hotel and meal reservations, suggest cultural events, and plan opportunities to establish relationships with the Dorcas House children and staff that will change your life.
