We would like to give you the additional opportunity to learn
new skills while helping to change the lives of those in need
by becoming a home build volunteer. All volunteers will receive
professional hands on training from Lowes. You will be able to
sign up to volunteer at the specified time during the conference.
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.
