Something general about schedules. Generally, the schedule for TIME involves working the jobsite from early morning to early afternoon, to avoid the worst heat of the day. After a return to Tucker First United Methodist Church for showers and rest time, youth volunteers receive a hearty and healthy meal. Each evening includes an activity, worship times, and group time. A 'typical' working day's schedule may look something like this:
Daily (example).
06:30 - Breakfast
07:15 - Load vans and leave for sites
07:30 - Arrive at site and begin work
12:00 - Lunch (on site; 30-45 minutes)
03:30 - Clean up site
04:00 - Load vans and return to Tucker First
04:00-06:15 - Showers, chore time, and free time
06:15 - Dinner
07:00 - Evening activity
09:00 - Worship in chapel
09:45 - Group time (various locations)
10:30 - Prepare for bed
11:00 - Lights Out
Learn about TIME and the various ways you can support this outstanding youth-driven outreach mission to the Tucker community.
Here's everything you need to know about the opportunities available to serve your community and make new friends through TIME.
Although TIME is youth-driven, there are plenty of opportunities for adults to serve the mission, both on the roof and on the ground. Can you help cook and serve meals one day a week, or chaperone one nights' sleepover? There's a place for you.
Please bless us by helping us bless you through TIME. This section has details and all the contact information you need to see if your home is eligible to be re-roofed as part of the TIME mission.
TIME couldn't serve the community without the generous support of sponsors, who provide building supplies, food, t-shirts, and financial and other support. Best of all, you know your contribution is going straight to work in the local community.
Did you say you can't hammer a nail and don't have time to serve a meal? You can be an essential part of our project by helping support a grandchild, neice or nephew, neighbor, friend, or other youth through the purchase of "Stock" in TIME's work.
See the story of TIME as told through by photograph, television report, and newspaper commentary. Please contact the webmaster for copies of photographs from 2008 and 2007.
In 2009, three churches and one school (from San Diego!) participated in TIME through their youth programs, and the gifts and prayers of their congregations and members. If your church, school, or group doesn't participate, don't worry. Individual youth who are not a part of a participating church or school are encouraged to be a part of TIME 2010, too.
