Volunteer Builders was incorporated on January 11, 2001 as a non-for-profit organization. Our central purpose is to design and build at least one structure each year for a worthy community-oriented recipient. We build our projects using volunteer staff and donations of design and working drawings, materials, equipment and project coordination, food and funds.

In just one weekend, our goal is to provide a closed-in shell that includes siding, roofing, windows and doors. At times, we have also provided electricity, decking and some interior work, such as staircases and bunk beds. Currently, our build choices focus on children's summer camps. Many have existed since the early 1900's and are in dire need of updating. More importantly, however, Volunteer Builders shares the belief that every child should have the opportunity to experience personal development in a fun and healthy environment. We are proud to be Commercial Members of the Ontario Camping Association.

Each year, Volunteer Builders strives to build on our own organization's foundation so others in the community can participate in and benefit from the service, experience and projects we provide.

Board of Directors

Whereas each year's Executive and committees work specifically on the current build, the Board of Directors provides guidance and leadership for the Volunteer Builders' corporation, as a whole. Incorporating input from the OCA and our volunteers, the Board selects our build receipients and determines our policy framework.

The Board of Directors is always open to new participants. Please direct inquiries to admin@volunteerbuilders.org.

Each year, the current Build Director sits on the Board of Directors and serves as a liaison between the Board and the Executive. As well, the outgoing Build Director serves an additional one-year term.
