To be a construction volunteer there
are no specific skill requirements needed, except a willingness
to work and learn. Habitat has a construction manager on the
site, along with a dozen or more experienced staff volunteers
who will provide on the job training and guidance.
HFHNC will provide lunch, however
you may want to bring your own beverages coffee, water,
soda, etc...
To volunteer on the construction
site you must first complete our online form, which is
available by clicking on
application here or on the left. As the need arises for
construction volunteers you will be contacted by our
volunteer coordinator. At that time, you will be given
details as to the work you'll be doing and directions to the
site. Please come dressed appropriately for working on a
construction site, i.e. work gloves, work boots (Sneakers
are ok, but please, no dress shoes, crocs, sandals, etc),
and comfortable work clothing. Expect to get dirty. HFHNC
will provide lunch, however you may want to bring your
own beverages coffee, water, soda, etc...
To help ensure a safe work
environment, construction volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
Each volunteer must sign a Release of Liability form agreeing to
take personal responsibility for any accidents or injuries on the
job. Many people 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 site.
Teens 16
- 17 may work on a construction site, however, due to labor
safety regulations they are not permitted to work with power tools
and may be limited to certain tasks. They must be accompanied by a
responsible adult or come as part of an organized group (school,
scouts, etc). Parents of teens 16 - 17 must sign the release form
for their child and you must fill out an application.
