Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitat for Humanity of Richland and Crawford Counties. They bring kindness, generosity, and a willingness to make a difference in our communities. Whether you have construction skills or not, there are numerous ways you can get involved and contribute to our mission of eliminating substandard housing.
We need volunteers of all skill levels to help with construction, family support, community outreach, committee work, office tasks, and salvage operations. If you have time, talent, and a desire to make a positive impact, we invite you to join our team. Together, we can build a better future, one home at a time.
No construction experience is required to volunteer. Habitat provides training and guidance on-site, and skilled construction professionals lead the projects. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome.
Habitat offers a variety of volunteer roles, including construction, administrative support, and event assistance. You can choose the role that best matches your skills and interests.
You can volunteer as an individual or as part of a group. Many volunteers come as individuals, and we also welcome corporate, school, faith-based, and community groups.
To sign up for a volunteer opportunity, you can typically visit our website, complete the volunteer application packet, and contact our Executive Director on the next available volunteer opportunities.
It's recommended to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing suitable for construction sites. Your shoes are required to be closed-toe shoes. You may also need to bring a water bottle, sun protection, and work gloves.
Yes, skilled professionals are highly valued volunteers. If you have specialized skills, please let us know, and we will match you with projects that can benefit from your expertise.
Both short-term and long-term volunteer opportunities are available. You can choose to volunteer for a specific event or project, or you can commit to regular volunteering based on your availability and preferences.
Habitat strives to accommodate volunteers of all abilities. Please inform us of any physical limitations or disabilities in advance, so we can assign tasks that match your capabilities.
You can stay informed about volunteer opportunities by subscribing to our newsletter, following us on social media, or regularly checking our website for updates and calendars of upcoming events.
Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.
