Restoration Project
Restoration Project is a nonprofit vocational rehabilitation program teaching traditional methods of furniture restoration to adults with mental illness, head injuries, and at-risk adolescents. Furniture restoration is especially suited to building the confidence and work habits needed for success—and ultimately re-entry to the community—because it is difficult and at the same time, rewarding. Each job is broken into manageable, cumulative tasks, and mistakes are easily fixed. Website: www.restorationproject.org
To volunteer, contact Eloise Newell, 978-263-0416, info@restorationproject.org
