Building For Purpose

General Overview:

• Volunteers must be 18-years of age.
• Shifts will be filled in Three Eight HOUR SHIFTS: (We believe there is going to be a real need for volunteers during the overnight hours and really appreciate your consideration.)

12 am - 8 am

8 am – 4 pm

4 pm – 12am

•  

  When you register on the volunteer link, you will be asked if you can work an 8 hour shift or 4 hour shift. We do not want to discourage anyone who can’t work an 8 hour shift to volunteer, so please register.

   
• All volunteers must first report to the Check-In/Registration tent every day. At the Check-In/Registration Tent, you must sign in and complete a volunteer release and confidentiality agreement. You will be issued a hard hat and t-shirt at this time.
• You will need to arrive at the Check-In/Registration tent at least 20 minutes prior to shifts in order to get your hard hat. PLEASE RETURN HARD HATS AT THE END OF YOUR SHIFT.
• Allow time for parking and walking to get to the shift on time. Click here (link to Spectators/Map) for site map location information, onsite parking, shuttle schedule, and directions.
• In the event that we have more volunteers than may be needed, please know that we will make every effort to involve you in this wonderful event. However, please do not be upset.
• Volunteers may be asked to do physical labor. If you have any restrictions, or conflicts, please inform the volunteer coordinator.
• We cannot accept any phone calls
• We reserve the right to ask anyone at anytime to leave our set. With such EXTREME working conditions, we may have to clear the site in order to finish this huge undertaking.

THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION SITE:

• Please be aware that this is a real construction site. Keep an eye out for heavy machinery, tools, and sharp materials at all times. Please watch your step.
• FULLY CLOSED SHOES/BOOTS are REQUIRED on the jobsite. There are NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Without the permission of production, NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IN AND AROUND THE BUILD SITE. This is an insurance liability issue for the Construction and Production Team.
• Please dress appropriately and be prepared for any weather conditions. In order to Move That Bus, we have to keep working against the clock.
• Please be courteous at all times, we are all working toward the same goal.
• EMHE races against the clock to complete the home makeover in seven (7) days. Everyone in the home must be working. If you are loitering, or touring the facility, you will be asked to leave.
• You are welcome to water and snacks in the volunteer tent.

T-Shirts:

• You will be issued ONE “EMHE” blue volunteer t-shirt only for the hours of volunteer work at the house. This shirt must be worn at all times while you are on the set/property.
• You will be issued this shirt at the time of your initial “check-in” the first day, so please allow adequate time before your shift.
• If you are working every day, you will need to launder your shirt. Unfortunately, we cannot give anyone more than one shirt.
• There can be NO alterations done to this t-shirt. You are not allowed to cut, draw, or write on this t-shirt.
• You cannot have any logo’s showing on undergarments.

AUTOGRAPHS:

• While working as a volunteer, we ask that you do not disturb the designers for autographs. They are working and need to complete their tasks on a tight timeframe. If you want an autograph, you must wait for the proper time in the spectator area. Thank you for your understanding.
• There should be absolutely NO autographing of hard-hats as these are the property of the builder and must be returned to check-in for future use.

CAMERAS:

There are absolutely NO CAMERAS, CAMERA PHONES, OR VIDEO CAMERAS allowed in the house AT ANY TIME. You will be asked to leave if seen taking photos or videos. There will be photos of the house posted daily on the website that you can share with your friends & family.

PRODUCTION STAFF:

• There is a large TV Production staff all working to complete the home with the contractors and designers. We ask that you do not disturb the Camera, Audio, or Producers when they are working. Please see your volunteer coordinator if you have any questions.

Please remember that we are ALL here to make a difference in the lives of a very deserving family. We sincerely appreciate the hard work you extend to us on this project and we thank you for your compliance with these issues.

Work hard, Be Safe, Have Fun, and help us to MOVE THAT BUS!
