We are two smart, hard working people who want to experience the American Dream our way: by traveling the country and helping small towns with labor and logistics for projects intended to help the entire community. There are a lot of public and private funds available for community projects, but even the most organized project can have trouble getting the volunteer labor necessary to bring it to fruition. Often a project’s labor needs are for such a brief time-span, or on a project-to-project basis, organizers are left holding the short end of the stick. That’s where we come in.
Our hope is to become highly mobile by living out of a camping trailer or small RV, traveling from site to site around the US and providing support to small community projects. We would work on projects anywhere from a week up to two months. Our goal is to acquire our own funding and health insurance so the projects we are assisting don’t incur any expense in housing, feeding or taking care of us. We want to leverage social media (Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, and this blog) to document our experience, help to raise awareness of our project, and create new opportunities for people wishing to live their own “New American Dream”.
We are currently in the early planning stages of this trip. We are looking for sponsorship partners who can help get us off the ground via financial and material donations. Please see the “What We Need” page for more details.
