Construction Volunteers to help build homes and communities

Save to Favorites

Summary: Construction volunteers are the backbone of every build. Whatever your skill set or experience, we have a role for you. From a weekly builder to a one time contributor, everyone can help make a difference!

Instruction: Provided by Habitat staff and or experienced Hammer & Saw volunteers who will guide you through each days’ tasks.

Time Commitment: There are regular construction opportunities every Wednesday through Saturday. Construction begins at 9:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. As long as you plan on a full day and let us know you’re coming, you can volunteer once, occasionally, or regularly!

NOTE: For other opportunities for construction (such as team building, special dates, or large groups), please contact the volunteer coordinator for more information.
