FUN FAQS ABOUT VOLUNTEERING

There are a variety of ways to get involved, from volunteering on construction sites to working in the office to joining a committee or cooking lunch for construction site volunteers, there is literally something for everyone.

Read more information below, or if you’re already sold … go ahead and contact us to get yourself involved!

CONSTRUCTION VOLUNTEERING…

Volunteer for a day by yourself, with a friend, or with a group of up to 12 people. The construction sites run from 8:00 am until about 3:30 pm Wednesdays through Saturdays, and the type of work depends on status of the house. Flexibility helps. Experience in construction is helpful, but not required.

Group Volunteers

Groups work on team building projects that help them work together and have fun making a difference. For more information and to submit a group request form click here.

SKILLED VOLUNTEER POSITIONS…

Crew Leaders

A Crew Leader will be expected to guide 4-5 volunteers of varying skill levels; they demonstrate tasks, maintain standards, monitor safety and assure that the volunteers have enough meaningful work to have a satisfying experience. We provide crew leader training. Training opportunities are 7 weeks long and occur a few times a year.

NON-CONSTRUCTION VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES…

If you are interested in any of the opportunities below please contact us at volunteer@habitatkc.org.

Provide worksite lunches

Provide a lunch for construction work crews. It can be simple, like sandwiches, you can cook & deliver, or you can bring a grill to the site and cook-out. This can be a great opportunity for faith, civic, families or youth groups.

Office Volunteers

Office volunteers perform a wide range of administrative tasks in support of Habitat’s business responsibilities. Duties may include filing, answering phones, greeting the public, preparing mailings, and/or data entry. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
