Volunteer for Build Week

Thank you helping to build Freedom Playground! Know that we greatly appreciate your time, and we can assure you that you'll find this opportunity one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.

There is a way for everyone to participate, regardless of your skill level. We need people with specific talents such as carpenters, but we also need people who've never swung a hammer in their life. We need specific tools like circular saws, but we also need people to carry the lumber once it's cut. We need artists to design and paint murals, but we also need people to cook the breakfasts and lunches. There will be many different types of specific and generic jobs available. Volunteer for 8 or more hours and qualify for Disney’s Give a Day Get a Day Program.

Follow the link below to register for a shift that fits your schedule. Free lunch and dinner will be served. And don't worry about hiring a babysitter, we'll provide free babysitting for children 9 years and younger. Your children aged 10-13 are welcome to work on the site within arm's reach of a guardian, and ages 14-17 can help build but may not use power tools.

We Need Your Talent

Anyone interested in providing childcare must have 2 valid clearances from the Pennsylvania State Police - a Criminal Records Check and a Child Abuse History Clearance. If you do not already have your clearances, the process is easy and painless.

In order to obtain your clearances please follow the links below:
Criminal Record Check: This clearance maybe returned instantly and you can print it out right on your home printer.
Child Abuse History Clearance: Follow the directions on the PA Department of Public Welfare's website. Please check the Volunteer Box on the form. This clearance must be sent away and might take several weeks to receive. You do NOT need the FBI clearance.

Please bring copies of both clearances with you on your appointed day and time to the Childcare Area.

We Need Your Tools

Open your garage and help supply us with the tools to build Freedom Playground; bring your saws, drills, hammers and wheelbarrows. All tools will be inventoried and returned back to you in as good or better condition as we received them, or we will replace them. That is a promise! Indicate your tool donation when you register. Our Tool Coordinator Chris Wilson will contact you to facilitate your donation.

We Need Your Friends

Please help us to recruit additional volunteers! We won't be able to complete our playground without help from all your family, friends, and neighbors. Please direct them to our website to register.

Thank you for your support of Freedom Playground. Together we are giving ALL children an extraordinary place to reach their full potential!
