Projects
Some individuals and groups love to swing a hammer or paint brush. We are small, but we have those opportunities. We can arrange work visits for any interested individual or group. Some are larger than others, and some are projects that have to be accomplished through regular visits. These are examples, only. New opportunities are identified every day.
All visits and volunteer activities are coordinated by first contacting Colin Mathewson (Colin Mathewson at 619-977-8173 or colinmathewson@gmail.com). The Dorcas House Volunteer Coordinator will follow up to establish arrangements for you or your group. We can make hotel and meal reservations, suggest cultural events, and plan opportunities to establish relationships with the Dorcas House children and staff that will change your life.
