No. Volunteers only work with non-professional volunteer groups that do not charge money. They exclude for-profit contractors and any groups we know have a bad reputation. Volunteer groups are unskilled and may be unable to complete all the work. We recommend supervising volunteers to ensure they do a good job. Please let us know if you know any group not doing a good job.
