Find Your Role quiz

1. True or False. I have no place on a Thrivent Builds work site. I've never hung a picture—much less drywall.

False: No skills? No problem! Homeowners and volunteers work side-by-side with trained supervisors who provide hands-on tutorials and guidance throughout the build. By the end of the day, you'll be hammering with the best of them!

 

2. True or False. Even though I live 248 miles from the nearest Thrivent Builds site, I can still participate.

True: You can choose to drive to a build and make a day of it, or you can participate in one of our other Thrivent Builds programs, such as Thrivent Builds Giving or Thrivent Builds Worldwide.

 

3. True or False. Thrivent Builds just isn't a good fit for me since I'm more of a behind-the-scenes kind of person and I work most weekends.

False: Although construction is central to the Thrivent Builds concept, there are many ways to get involved without ever stepping onto a construction site. You can assist with publicity for builds, coordinate events and call interested volunteers, organize or participate in fund-raisers or even help recruit volunteers by spreading the word to friends and family. And Thrivent Builds projects often need help throughout the week, not just on weekends.

 

4. Multiple Choice. To be an effective Thrivent Builds volunteer, I need to:

  1. Have a Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering.
  2. Complete an extensive training course in residential building.
  3. Take a lot of time off work and away from my family.
  4. Have a heart for serving others.

D. The alliance between Thrivent Financial and Habitat for Humanity is about caring for others. No matter your experience or availability, Thrivent Builds can use you!

 

5. Multiple Choice. On a Thrivent Builds site, you might find yourself:

  1. Building relationships with other volunteers.
  2. Learning a new and helpful skill.
  3. Getting to know the family who will be buying the home, since they'll be putting their sweat equity into the construction right along with you.
  4. Whistling while you work.
  5. All of the above, and more!

E. Chances are you'll love the time you spend working with Thrivent Builds—no matter if you're installing doors or handing out brownies.
