Dress Code

ReConstruct requires all participants and staff to exercise discretion regarding their clothing. We want the week you spend with us to ReConstruct your life. These guidelines are not meant to punish you, but to prevent distractions so that we are able to focus on the real reason we are all here: Jesus.

Please no tight shirts, sweaters, pants or shorts.
Please no spaghetti straps, bare midriffs or short shorts.
Please no short skirts or low-cut tops.
Please no sagging pants.
Please no writing on the buttocks of clothing.
Please no t-shirts or other garments with offensive material as determined by the ReConstruct staff and your church’s adult leaders.
On the worksite long pants, sleeved shirts, and closed toed shoes are a MUST; this is non-negotiable.

This dress code is not intended to weigh you down with rules, but to avoid any problems before they start. If there is a questionable article of clothing, a staff member will speak to the participant and their leader privately, and in all cases, the staff’s word will be final.

Tools

Based the type of work your group will be doing, please bring the following tools to the ReConstruct Project. Be sure the equipment is clearly labeled with your name. You will take the equipment you bring home with you.
