Volunteering in Washington DC

One Brick Needs Your Help!

One Brick chapters are 100% volunteer-run! We have no employees...we don't even maintain offices! In fact, on a National level, One Brick has only a single employee, and two part-time employees who all work from a home.

What One Brick DOES have is a lot of dedicated volunteers who make it all happen. And we're always looking for more people like YOU to to join our team and help us in the incredible work we do!

Event Management and Leadership Team

You know how every time you go to an event, there's always somebody there, smiling, cracking dumb jokes, who makes you sign in at our event, and makes you wear the goofy nametag? Well, that could be you! The Event Manager's job is to represent One Brick and make sure that people are having fun at the event and are meeting each other. Please join us!

One Brick has over 50,000 volunteers across our seven chapters. The limit on how many events we can put on, and how many community organizations we can serve, is the number of Event Managers we have to staff events.

It's not a lot of work, and it's incredibly rewarding. In 2010 alone, One Brick brought 65,000 volunteer hours to the communities we serve, and we're on track to do even more in 2011! If that's not enough incentive, it's a great way to meet lots of really cool people. We promise!

PR and Marketing

Help us get the word out! One Brick has thousands of volunteers already, but there's still thousands of people who haven't heard of us yet, and tons of community organizations that still need our support.

Do you have experience in Marketing or Public Relations? A little effort on your part to help us spread the word about One Brick can yield hundreds of new volunteers for us, which will translate into thousands of volunteer hours for the community. Imagine that impact! All it takes is someone to champion a marketing effort, or help to pitch One Brick to media outlets.

Development and Fund-raising

While One Brick's chapters are completely volunteer run, we do have a small national staff (one full time and two part-time). We also have as business expenses for maintaining the website, marketing, insurance and other miscellaneous items.

Help us coordinate fund-raising events like our Happy Hour parties and sports events. Or help us identify corporate donors for fund raising and in-kind support.

Does your company have a matching donations program for your volunteer time, or a grant program to support non-profit organizations? You may have already earned a few hundred dollars for One Brick with the time you've volunteered!

Consider this: for every $2 donated to One Brick, we deliver over $18 in value to the community! That's a huge return on any investment! With One Brick, it doesn't take a lot of money to have a HUGE impact on our community.
