Description

Desk Mates, a program of Volunteer Ventures MA Inc., was developed to provide volunteer- built wooden desks and bookshelves at no cost to students who lack a personal study and learning space at home. Volunteer builders are supplied with a 'build-it-yourself kit' that contains all the materials, components and instructions necessary to construct, sand and finish a desk. The kit materials are all pre-cut and pre-drilled so builders are able to build without needing to purchase, measure or cut any materials.
