Individuals & Groups

Volunteers are the lifeblood of Habitat for Humanity. Without the donated labor of compassionate individuals, Habitat for Humanity could never build homes at costs affordable to low-income families. With guidance from experienced tradesmen, volunteers perform every step of the building process, from building the walls to planting the shrubs. No prior construction experience is necessary - just a desire to help others and a willingness to learn.

To become a Habitat volunteer or to learn more about opportunities for groups and individuals, just complete the volunteer form.  You will be contacted by a Habitat for Humanity volunteer coordinator.
