WHO CAN VOLUNTEER?

• Individuals -  Anyone over the age of 16 can volunteer (for liability reasons anyone under the age of 16 is not allowed to volunteer on our construction, ReStore, or Thrift Store).  No experience is needed; only the willingness to learn and to have fun!          Individuals consists of:

               1. Occasional Volunteers: An Occasional Volunteer may be new to Habitat

                   or a long-time volunteer who schedules to volunteer whenever they may

                   have some free time.

              

               2. Regular Volunteers: Regular volunteers are men and women of all ages

                 

                   who happily dedicate at least one day a week to volunteering with  

   

                   Habitat. These are the volunteers who manage to keep our builds and     

   

                   stores running with their regular service.

      

   

               3. Crew Leaders: A Crew Leader is someone who has volunteered with  

                       Habitat long enough to know how the Habitat volunteer site works and 

                   is willing to assist in leading groups of occasional volunteers. A Crew 

                   Leader may be someone with vast construction or retail experience, or

                   someone who has learned through volunteering with Habitat. For more

                   information on becoming a Crew Leader, please contact the Volunteer

                   Coordinator.

   

               4. Professional Volunteers: While we welcome volunteers of all skill levels, we

                   are also in need of professional volunteers. If you have any professional

                   skills and are interested in volunteering your time, please contact the

                   Volunteer Coordinator.
