Volunteer Activities

There are many ways for volunteers to get involved with Habitat for Humanity. Here are descriptions of the areas of work where you might get involved.

Coordinate labor, plans, materials and family interests to build or repair the finished product, "a simple, decent house in a decent community for God's people in need."
 
Cultivate relationships with local churches, seek Covenant Churches, and maintain ties to currently involved churches.
 
Organize and carry out the application, interview, and selection processes. Find the families who fit the criteria of need for shelter, ability to make no-interest loan payments, and ability to partner with Habitat for Humanity.
 
Work with families through sweat equity, home ownership education, home purchase process, adjustment to new responsibilities and continued partnership with the organization.
 
Help raise sufficient money to fund the needs of the organization in order that simple, decent housing can be built with Partner Families.
 
Solicit full or partial donations of the building materials used in home construction and repair.
 
Improve the community's awareness of our work, recognize our participants, and encourage new donations of time and materials so more people have simple, affordable housing.
 
Identify potential sites, evaluate sites' availability and appropriateness, evaluate sites suitability for affiliate's basic house plans, and maintain acquired sites.
 
Develop programs for youth and youth groups to further their involvement with Habitat for Humanity.
