Current Opportunities (Updated Weekly)
Habitat for Humanity Building Blitz
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is sponsoring the second annual Building Blitz over Academic Advising Recess. Put down your books and lend a hand to housing projects around the Grand Rapids area! Last year students learned how to hang siding, raise framework, use saws (and hammers!), and a variety of other house-building skills!
SAAC and its participating teams would like to open up this opportunity to all Calvin students. You can work a 4-hour or 8-hour shift on Tuesday, October 27 or Wednesday October 28: 8am-12pm or 12:30pm-4:30pm.
Contact Laura Bindon (ljt2@calvin.edu) to sign up for a time slot. Location information will be sent out on Monday, October 26. See you and your work gloves on October 27 & 28!
