Facilities & Trades Volunteer for a Community Health Hub

Facilities Support Volunteer Department Facilities & Operations - Executive & Facilities Manager Volunteer Type Community Volunteer - Trades / Maintenance Background Preferred Estimated Hours 6-10 hours/week (flexible; task and project-based) Commitment Ongoing; minimum 3-month commitment requested Reports To Executive & Facilities Manager Location Franklin, NC - Community Health Hub (16,000 sq ft facility) Why This Role Exists The Vecinos Community Health Hub opened in May 2024 — a 16,000 square foot facility housing a clinic, lab, pharmacy, food bank, and administrative operations. It's a beautiful space and a genuine community asset. It's also a lot of building to keep up. As a nonprofit operating entirely on grant funding, we don't have the luxury of an in-house maintenance crew. A volunteer with a trades or general handyperson background can make an enormous difference in how we maintain and present this space — catching small issues before they become big ones, handling minor repairs that would otherwise wait weeks for a vendor, and being a second set of eyes during facility walkthroughs.
