Volunteers are essential to Habitat’s model of partnership housing and a Volunteer Fleet Mechanic would have an opportunity for a meaningful experience while gaining valuable skills. Working in tandem with our Home Repair Department, the volunteer will receive additional education about the Habitat for Humanity philosophy and mission, as well as issues surrounding affordable housing in Philadelphia. The volunteer would be part of professional working team and gain opportunities for developing skills in their area of expertise.
Duties may include but are not limited to:
- Conduct routine maintenance work of trucks and vans; aiming to vehicle functionality and longevity (tires, oil change, inspections, etc.)
- Make recommendations on additional repairs as needed
- Repair or replace broken or dysfunctional parts
- Keep logs on work and issues

Mission Statement
Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia transforms lives and our City by building quality homes in partnership with families in need and by uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing.
Description
In the City of Philadelphia, the need for decent, affordable housing is tremendous: one in four households in the city cannot afford to pay for the roof over their head, or is living in unsafe, substandard or overcrowded housing. These living conditions affect children’s health and education and erode entire communities.
Habitat offers a time-tested, successful solution to the affordable housing crisis: we utilize the current housing stock, we partner with low-income families committed to 350 hours of sweat-equity work, we offer a zero-interest, no profit mortgage, and we capture the enthusiasm of dedicated volunteers.
Habitat Philadelphia depends on volunteers to help build decent, affordable housing in partnership with the families in our program. Working together with Habitat staff and Partner Families, volunteers complete nearly every aspect of home construction, from framing to the finishing touches.
Join us as we Build Houses, Build HOPE, Build Philadelphia.
