The first step to volunteering is to attend a New Volunteer Orientation. After you attend orientation and fill out the required paperwork, you can sign up for volunteer opportunities through Habitat’s Volunteer Website.
Habitat needs volunteers in all areas of the organization.Check out our list of specific volunteer positions.
There are lots of ways that youth can get involved with Habitat! Check out our youth activities or visit www.habitat.org/youthprograms/int/default.aspx.
Definitely! Habitat has many needs for volunteers including help in our ReStore, office, with photography, speaking at events, and the list goes on. To view all of the volunteer options, please visit our Individual Volunteer Page.
Groups can volunteer in Habitat’s ReStore, on a build site, or a deconstruction site. For more information, please visit our Group Volunteer Page.
Since scheduling a day to volunteer is tricky enough when working with multiple schedules, groups are not required to attend a Volunteer Orientation. If you would like to have someone speak to your group about volunteering, please contact Shellie Bensman, Volunteer Support Coordinator.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to be on a Habitat build site. If under 18, youth must be accompanied by an adult 21 or older on a one-on-one ratio. Youth cannot operate power tools or work on roofing while on-site.
Construction requires a full day time commitment of 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Habitat builds Tuesday-Saturday, with weekdays being our biggest need.
You do not need to be skilled with construction or have previous experience prior to volunteering. There will be house and crew leads on the build site to teach you everything you will need to know!
Typically Habitat can accommodate crews of six to twelve people per house, depending on the phase of construction.
