Construction volunteers participate
in many aspects of the homebuilding process including:
rough and finish carpentry, electrical, plumbing,
and HVAC installation, drywall hanging, insulating,
painting, foundation prepping, landscaping, and
hanging siding, etc. Habitat is always looking
for skilled
workers, however volunteers do not
need any prior experience in construction.

Habitat will provide the necessary tools, but volunteers
are encouraged to bring basic tools with them. Depending on the project, these may include:
work gloves, tool belt, hammer, shovels, tape measure,
pencil, utility knife, speed square, etc.
Since our projects are dependent upon weather, availability of
skilled leadership, and progress of ongoing volunteer crews, a specific
day’s task schedule may fluctuate. We truly appreciate your
flexibility in helping us with our various needs!
