Construction
Community volunteers like you are not only welcome, but essential – no matter what your construction experience or skill level may be. Habitat’s construction manager oversees the construction site and will decide each volunteer’s job based on daily needs and individual skills. If you want to learn a new skill, just let us know. We’ll show you how.
- General Construction: Building teams can use anyone at any skill level, from beginner to expert.
- Skilled Tradespeople: Experienced electricians, plumbers and carpenters are especially needed.
- Painting and Landscaping: Volunteers aged 14-15 can help on painting and landscaping days. Ages 16 and up are able to help with general construction, some limitations may apply. Minors are not allowed to use power tools.
Non-construction
Non-construction volunteers also are needed to support our building project.
- Sign-In: Help construction volunteers sign in at the construction site.
- Lunch for Volunteers: Provide food and drink for other volunteers, with your group or family.
- Clerical Volunteers: Serve in the office as a receptionist.
