About Corazón Construction
Providing Shelter, Security, and Hope
Construction projects, such as our home builds and house repairs, ensure that our organization can provide safe and secure homes for families in our communities.
Volunteer groups, led by trained and experienced lead builders, construct 16x20 homes for families in one day -- no experience is necessary to volunteer in these projects.
Our Construction Roles
Corazón house builds are successful because of our volunteers. Anyone can become a Corazón affiliated volunteer - Lead Builder, Blue Shirt Volunteer, and Red Shirt Volunteer.
Lead Builder - Lead Builders are trained Corazón affiliated volunteers who direct building activities throughout the build day. Lead builders are in charge of delegating tasks and informing groups of safety procedures.
Blue Shirt Volunteer - A blue shirt volunteer is a Corazón affiliated volunteer who attended at least nine (9) construction projects in one calendar year. Blue Shirts are volunteers that understand the Corazón Construction process and hold sufficient experience to guide volunteer groups throughout their build.
Red Shirt Volunteer - A red shirt volunteer is a Corazón affiliated volunteer who attended at least four (4) construction projects and expressed a commitment to volunteering with Corazón in a bigger way, usually to become a blue shirt.
Our construction leaders help guide volunteer groups to complete construction projects. There are currently nine (9) different construction projects.
