Corporate Build Program

Houston ToolBank welcomes volunteer groups to give back to the community through cooperative team-building projects. As a team, you’ll work with our ToolBank experts to construct small build projects to be donated to areas in need. Our team will host, train and supervise your group as you learn how to use the provided tools safely and effectively to create something new for our community. These projects are a great opportunity for corporate team-building, a group volunteer day or a cohort bonding activity.

There is a recommended donation for all Corporate Build Program participant groups, which helps support the Houston ToolBank’s mission.
