VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

                                    Construction Site 

The building site involves a wide range of construction tasks. including framing, roofing, installation of drywall, doors & windows, trim & carpentry work, painting, vinyl siding, and more.

Groups: If you have a group of any size that wishes to volunteer, please call us. We will do our best to accommodate your group's schedule. Your group can even sponsor a house!

Saturday Builds: We realize that many potential construction volunteers have busy weekday schedules. Our Saturday Builds provide an excellent opportunity for individuals and groups to help at our construction sites.

What to Bring:  Each volunteer, if possible , should bring a set of basic tools: gloves, hammer, nail apron, tape measure, and a pencil. If you have other basic tools, for example a utility knife,  siding snips, etc. you may bring them. Please label all of your tools with your name.

Skill Requirements:
No specific skill, except the willingness to learn are needed. Habitat provides an experienced crew leader on each work site who will provide on-the-job training. 

Arrival on the site: At the beginning of each work day a habitat supervisor will start the morning with introductions, a safety talk and instructions. The group will then break into crews to work on various tasks. Please be on time.

Kids and construction:
To help ensure a safe work environment, construction volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Teens 14-17 years of age may work on a construction site provided they have parental permission. Those under 18 may not use power tools, climb ladders, or work on  scaffolding or the roof.

Release of Liability: Each Habitat volunteer must sign a release of liability form prior to the work day. Most individuals have a personal health insurance plan that covers them while engaged in volunteer work. However, you should verify your coverage prior to coming to the work site. Release of liability forms are available on the back of the
volunteer application.
