Volunteering as an Individual
Come build with us! Learn new skills! Meet new people! We work with construction volunteers Wednesday through Saturday year-round. To sign up to volunteer as an individual please click here.

Volunteering as a Team 
A team work day on a Habitat construction site can be great for fellowship and team-building. We schedule groups of up to 12 Wednesday through Saturday, year-round. If you are interested in learning more about group volunteer days or would like to schedule a day please click here


Volunteering as a Construction Leader
Volunteer leaders are becoming increasingly important to Habitat as we grow to serve more and more families. Depending on the particular role, volunteer leaders might help guide unskilled volunteers on site, lead the construction or entire building phase of a house, or help us to observe safety on site.  For more information volunteer leadership please

Please fill out our volunteer interest form if you are interested in any of the following volunteer opportunities:

Youth Construction
Youth volunteers must be at least 16 years-old. Volunteers ages 16 and 17 must have a parent/guardian sign their waiver of liability and be accompanied to the site by an adult who is legally responsible for them. Youth groups volunteering on the construction site must have a ratio of one (1) adult to every four (4) youths.  To read our youth policy, click here.  Please let us know in advance if you are planning to bring youth.

Community Service
If you need to fulfill school or court-ordered community service hours and would like to work on our construction sites,

Site Hosting
Site Hosts are responsible for greeting volunteers as they arrive on site, collecting waivers, issuing nametags as well as sharing the Habitat story, workday details and general safety information with volunteers.

Lunch Crew
Reenergize volunteers by providing and serving a light lunch for volunteers on the jobsite. 
This is a great opportunity for youth involvement.
