1.
Provide your name and email address for our
Volunteer Database so we can email you opportunities.
Click here to
sign up at our Volunteer Database.
Whether you're signing up for
yourself, a group, a business, an organization, a church, etc., all
we need is one contact person.
We will email you a "Volunteer Alert"
once we start scheduling each new construction and each ABWK repair project.
Once we begin emailing you "Volunteer
Alerts," you can schedule
yourself or up to 10-15 people to volunteer with you!
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.
Note: the "volunteer alert" email is
NOT the same as the confirmation email you will receive immediately
after signing up in our database. The subject will read "Volunteer
Alert."
3.
Visit the
VolunteerHub to register for available dates!
Register for available dates,
scheduling just yourself or a whole group of people! Typically we schedule 5-15 people on a construction or
repair project.
You can choose to visit the VolunteerHub at
anytime; however, if you are not signed up in our database (see #1) 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!
