Volunteering is a great way to give back to our community and make a difference in the life of a partner family. Opportunities are always available at our Restore, and we anticipate construction opportunities with our Brush With Kindness, Aging In Place programs, and our future Soda Creek location! To sign up as a volunteer, please fill out the Volunteer Questionnaire.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will a typical workday look like on a construction site?
On your volunteer day, you will sign-in on arrival at the site. Then, our staff will provide a short overview of Habitat give a safety orientation. Please note that safety is very important to us and your presence at the safety orientation is mandatory.
After orientation, supervisors will break the group into smaller teams, if necessary, and teach everyone the tasks for the day. If there is ever anything you are asked to do that you are uncomfortable with, the supervisor will be happy to help you get comfortable with the task or find another task for you.
We are grateful for you and want you to enjoy yourselves.
What is the time commitment required?
It’s up to you! We can accommodate schedules, but for our Volunteer Days we ask for full day commitments.
What days of the week can I work?
This will depend on the overall construction schedule and tasks. There will be both weekday and weekend workdays which will be listed on the registration page of this website when workdays are finalized.
Our Restore location is open Tuesday-Saturday’s excluding holidays.
Is there an age requirement?
Yes. on construction sites, all volunteers must be at least 16 years old. 16 and 17-year-old volunteers are not allowed to be on high ladders or to use power tools and must be accompanied by an adult. Please note: Even if accompanied by a parent, children under 16 are not permitted on our construction sites. This is for everyone’s safety.
Our ReStore Showroom is happy to take volunteers aged 16 and older.
