Volunteer Groups

Before we can get started building, here is what we’ll need your group to do for us:

• Arrive promptly to the build site at the assigned time
• Sign Habitat’s liability waiver before starting
• Wear appropriate clothing for construction (closed-toed shoes, dress for the weather and to get dirty)
• Listen carefully to Habitat staff and respect their decisions and expertise

Here is what to expect from Habitat when your group comes to volunteer with us:

• Provide all tools/equipment and instructions
• Inform participants of safety procedures and equipment
• Have general liability and construction insurance
• Provide a restroom, as well as water, general snacks and a microwave

We typically work in the mornings (8am-12pm) to avoid the heat! For large groups that need to split up, we can have a morning and afternoon shift. We require a lunch break in the middle of the day for our staff and core volunteers. We do not have groups on site later than 4pm.

We host the majority of our groups Wednesday-Saturday. Mondays or Tuesdays can be an option, but Sundays are not.

No. You are more than welcome to coordinate lunch on the build site for your group, but we only provide water and some paper products.
