Volunteer
We rely on dedicated volunteers to help us pursue our mission. Please consider volunteering to help with construction or ReStore operations. You can sign up to volunteer as an individual or contact us to make a reservation for a group.
Construction
Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome! Every job is important. No matter where your talents lie, you can help us in our mission to build safe, decent, affordable homes. Construction Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. There are NO exceptions.
Our regular construction crews build every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 AM to 4 PM and individuals are encouraged to join them for a rewarding experience.
Groups may reserve construction days Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. To make a reservation, please complete the form below.
We typically work rain or shine, except in cases of extreme weather and depending on the tasks at hand, so check the forecast and dress appropriately. In the rare case of a weather cancellation, we will send an email notification to everyone who is signed up.
ReStore
ReStore volunteers help with donation processing and general store operations.
Group/Company Reservations
Whether this is your first group/company volunteer event, or you’re seasoned pros, Habitat provides a fun, easy and engaging experience. We’re in the business of building safe, affordable housing, and would love to work with you. Group reservations can be made most weeks for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Other days may be available on special request.
Research has shown that employees prefer to work for companies invested in charitable causes, and volunteering is a terrific way to facilitate that need at a relatively low cost to you. It is especially important to the Millennial generation, born approximately 1980-2000, which is the second-largest outside of the Baby Boomers and is now entering the workforce in droves.
Benefits to corporate volunteering with Habitat for Humanity:
- Learn about your employees on a more personal level.
- Break down the hierarchy walls of traditional corporate structure.
- Assist in projects that provide a better future for other individuals.
- Provide a deeper connection to the area around you.
- Create a more stable environment for those in need.
- Share an experience that you can take back to the office.
Maybe you’ve already spent money on ropes courses, picnics or retreats, and those all certainly have their place. We believe it’s also valuable to invest time with your employees in meaningful work that will not only have an impact on them, but on the people they help for years to come.
Do our employees need prior construction experience?
No, just come as you are. We have jobs and tasks for all skill levels and abilities including construction, beautification, running errands, and touch-ups. In addition to build projects, you may choose to serve at a Habitat ReStore in your area, which is our resale shop.
Will we get to meet the future Habitat homeowner from our build project?
Habitat’s future homeowners have requirements to fulfill, which we call sweat equity. This includes construction on their home and the homes of others participating in Habitat’s homeownership program. It is possible you will get to work with the homeowners. Other volunteer opportunities also include working in a Habitat ReStore where you will have the opportunity to work alongside Habitat staff and other volunteers.
