CONSTRUCTION VOLUNTEERS

CONSTRUCTION / A BRUSH WITH KINDNESS (ABWK) VOLUNTEER PROCESS

1. Provide your name and email address for our Volunteer Database so we can email you opportunities.

Interested Businesses / Organizations / Churches - Click here to sign up at our Volunteer Database. (if you will be volunteer contact for your business, your organization or your faith group, use this option)

Interested Individuals (and other groups) - Click here to sign up at our Volunteer Database. (if you are representing yourself, your family and/or friends, but not a business, organization or church, use this option)

We will email you a "Volunteer Alert" as we begin scheduling for each construction and ABWK project.

2. Wait for the "Volunteer Alert" email from Habitat.

Inside the "Volunteer Alert" email, there will be a link to our construction calendar, as well as worksite location(s) and scheduling dates.

The "Volunteer Alert" will include opportunities for all construction programs, including new home and A Brush With Kindness.

3. Visit the VolunteerHub (the construction calendar) to register for available dates!

Register yourself and/or others to join you; typically we schedule 5-15 people on a construction or ABWK job.

You can choose to visit the VolunteerHub at anytime; however, if you are not signed up to receive "Volunteer Alert" emails, you will not be notified when scheduling begins each time.

4. Fill out and submit a waiver of liability BEFORE volunteering!

You can find the liability waivers here.

5. Show up, have fun and take pride in knowing  you are making a difference in someone's life!

If you've signed up for the volunteer database, we will email you as volunteer opportunities arise.  If you haven't heard from Habitat for Humanity, it is because there are no opportunities at that specific time or because your email server bounced our Volunteer Alert back to us.  Please add Habitat to your "safe" email list to prevent this.

WORK SITE GUIDELINES!
We take our job - and your job - seriously.  Be sure that you:

Know volunteers must be at least 16 years old to be on the construction site.

Download and read Habitat for Humanity's site safety plan.

Remember a maximum of 10 construction volunteers are allowed on the site at any one time.

Are dressed appropriately for the weather, your own safety and health.  Gloves or heavy shoes or boots are perfect.  No open-toed shoes allowed. 

Bring water (not soda) on hot days. 

Complete and sign a waiver of liability form. 

The Construction Supervisor will give you details about the specific tasks of the day.  We will try to make good use of your time.  We want you to have a good volunteer experience with us.  Wear a nametag and introduce yourself to other volunteers.  You may meet a homeowner family, since family members work on their own and other Habitat Homes.  If possible, please bring basic hand tools (hammer 16oz or heavier, tape measure, utility knife, etc.)  Please clearly label your tools!
