Individual volunteers

Construction 
Construction volunteers work alongside our construction team and Future Homeowners building Habitat homes in different stages of construction. Activities include roof work, interior framing, hanging drywall, window/door installation, exterior painting, landscaping, and more. 
 
Our current new home construction projects are in the western communities of Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay. Construction shifts are offered Saturdays between the hours of 8 am to 3 pm. We provide all Personal Protection Equipment, materials and no experience is necessary!
Neighborhood Revitalization 
The Neighborhood Revitalization (NR) Program focuses on exterior home repair, disability access, beautification of an already existing home and community projects.  
 
Volunteers can participate in activities including painting and landscaping, as well as building ramps or any other modifications to make accessibility easier on the homeowner. You can even plant a garden at a park or build a stage for an amphitheater! You will enjoy the opportunity of working side by side with the existing homeowners and be led by our experienced crew. NR shifts are offered Wednesday-Saturdays. ​
Retail 
ReStore and Thrift Store volunteers play an important role in providing continued funding from donations, recycling items, selling items at a discount and keeping waste out of landfills. They help to create a clean and organized atmosphere for customers, and a friendly & efficient donation drop off experience for donors.  
 
Tasks include, but are not limited to, assisting customers, loading and unloading merchandise and donations, and helping to maintain a clean and attractive store. ReStore shifts are offered Monday-Saturday at our 3 locations (Jupiter, Greenacres, Riviera Beach). ​

We have just the thing for you by helping build a home (16 +), paint or landscape (14+), help our stores (16+) or spread the good work of Habitat via social media! You can also coordinate a school or community donation day!  

Youth opportunities 
During the pandemic we are unable to offer youth opportunities on our sites. 
Youth under 16 can still help support Habitat! You can raise money at your school, bring lunch to our volunteers or create a "Room Basket" for our future homeowners that you can present at our home dedications. There are many things you can do, just reach out and we’ll show you how! Volunteer@habitatpbc.org ​
