A friend of mine made this short video about the Green Living Co-Op organization, which follows a "barn-raising" model. People join for free and donate time on a neighbor's project, earning free help at their house in return.  This really addresses two of the key blocks to concrete change around the home - "I don't know how to do it" or "I can't do it by myself and hiring people will cost money."
 
It's great for community-building as well, and for breaking down barriers of isolation between people.
