Volunteer/Construction Rules and Standards
Please read before volunteering:
- You MUST be 18 to volunteer.
- You MUST wear FULLY CLOSED SHOES/BOOTS. (It is a construction site).
- Due to excellent community support, we cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to work on-site. We appreciate everyone and will do our best, but under no circumstances can we ensure that you will be chosen to enter the construction site.
- You must have fully completed Volunteer and Appearance release forms to volunteer and/or get a shirt for work. Form is available ONSITE.
- Volunteers will get a t-shirt only when they are sent to the site to work, not before.
- Only one shirt per Volunteer. If you are coming back to volunteer again, please launder and wear your original t-shirt.
- Volunteers may be asked to do physical labor. If you have any restrictions or conflicts, please inform the volunteer coordinator.
- Once on set, DO NOT interfere with the Camera Crew or Cast. This is a television show and in order to successfully complete shooting, we need full cooperation from everyone involved.
- Unless given specific work duties, you should not be roaming the set. You will be asked to stand by in a designated area as deemed by your Volunteer Coordinator.
- Please DO NOT ask the "Cast" for autographs. Everyone is working very hard and it's important to respect and uphold a professional work environment.
Absolutely NO autographs on Hard Hats. They are not souvenirs and we need enough of them for the safety of all who enter the work site, for the entire build. Please return all hard hats at the end of your work shift. We only have a limited supply and are concerned with the safety of all who enter the site.
There are absolutely NO CAMERAS, CAMERA PHONES, OR VIDEO CAMERAS allowed in the house or around the project AT ANY TIME. You will be asked to leave if seen taking photos or videos.
We are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Please leave all of your personal effects in your car or at home.
If you are not a Construction Worker or signed in as a scheduled Volunteer, you will NOT obtain a t-shirt from this location. At no time will the Volunteer Check-In Tent be able to hand out t-shirts to anyone who is not a registered worker or volunteer.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ASK ANYONE AT ANYTIME TO LEAVE THE SET. With such EXTREME working conditions we may have to clear the site in order to finish this huge undertaking.
On behalf of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Lock & Key Productions, we thank you for your patience and understanding.
