Construction Volunteer
Construction volunteers are a critical part of our mission.
As a volunteer, you will learn new skills, meet new friends, and make a
big impact in the life of a family.
Habitat homes are built primarily by volunteers. Whether you are a contractor, a DIYer, or have never picked up a hammer in your life, we need your help. Habitat brings families, community partners and volunteers together to construct affordable, energy-efficient homes that help families build stability, strength and self-reliance.

Spending a day on a Habitat build or working in a ReStore is a great way for companies, community organizations, or a group of friends to help make the dream of home ownership a reality for families living in need. What better way to learn the value of team building, co-operation, and leadership than by working with your co-workers and peers on a build site?
