Habitat Newburgh General Construction Volunteer
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh
Volunteering with Habitat Newburgh is a fun and rewarding way to give back, meet new people, learn new skills, and be a part of an amazing community of people putting their compassion into action. Volunteers turn a family’s dream of owning a home into a reality.
We are always looking for 'Habitat Skilled' volunteers. This means we are looking for volunteers who are dedicated and driven towards working for a better community. There is no construction experience necessary!
We have volunteers assist every Wednesday - Saturday, 8AM - 1PM. The volunteer tasks vary greatly depending on what we are working on at the time. One constant is that we are always on the look out to involve community members from Newburgh and beyond.
To volunteer, pop on over to Newburgh.VolunteerHub.com and follow the directions to sign up for any of our eligible sites.
If you have any questions, please contact our Volunteer & Outreach Coordinator, Matt Arbolino, at MArbolino@HabitatNewburgh.org.
Thanks and see you soon!
