What to Bring: Each volunteer must bring a set of basic tools: hammer, gloves, tape measure, and a pencil. If you have other basic tools, for example a utility knife, siding snips, tool belt, safety glasses, etc. you may wish to bring them. Please label all of your tools with your name.

Skill Requirements: No specific skills, except a willingness to learn, are needed. Habitat provides an experienced supervisor on each work site. If you do have a specific skill please let us know so that we can utilize your talent and skills to the best of our ability.

Arrival On Site: At the beginning of each workday a Habitat supervisor will start the morning with a prayer, introductions, a safety talk and instructions. The group will then break into crews to work on various tasks. Please arrive by 8:15 so that we can begin promptly.

Kids & Construction: To help ensure a safe work environment, construction volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Teens, 16 and 17, may work on a construction site provided they have parental permission and supervision. The required ratio is 1 adult to every 5 teens. Those under 18 must not use power tools.

Release of Liability: Each Habitat volunteer must sign a Release of Liability form agreeing to take personal responsibility for any accidents or injuries on the job. Most individuals have a personal health insurance plan that covers them while engaged in volunteer work. However, you should verify your coverage prior to coming to the work.
