Volunteer Opportunities |
CONSTRUCTION
Anyone who has a willing heart and is 16 years of
age or older (this is a state law). An adult, (ratio 1:1.), must
accompany volunteers to our construction site who are under the age of
18. Construction skills are a plus, but not mandatory. We ask groups of
six or more to try to bring one skilled or semi-skilled volunteer for
every three unskilled volunteers, and to schedule their workdays two
weeks in advance with the office. If you are not scheduled to work,
please don't "just show up" at the work site. This will result in too
many workers on the site and no work for some of them.
You may be asked to do any of the tasks required to build a house, from
demolition to framing, to painting, to sweeping. Your help is greatest
when you do what needs to be done. Let us know if you have a special
skill. Don't overstate your abilities so you won't be asked to do
something unsafe.
The work site is generally open Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday -
8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Our site day starts promptly at 8:30 AM when job
tasks are assigned. If you or your group cannot be at the site at the
start of the day and special arrangements cannot be made with Habitat
staff, please offer to volunteer for Habitat in another capacity where
the hours are more flexible.
