Construction Information
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNTIES – We have very limited onsite construction volunteer opportunities at this time. Please consider volunteering beyond the site. Click here to read about our other volunteer needs.
Habitat homes are built mostly by a volunteer workforce. No experience is necessary, just a willing attitude and a desire to help!
Construction volunteers are guided by our professional construction staff and trained volunteer Crew Leaders!

ReStore Light Deconstruction
ReStore is always looking for volunteers to help with light deconstruction, which generally entails careful removal of kitchen and bath items, windows and doors and any other removable items per the donor. The work is fun, the groups are always lead by experienced volunteers, and it takes one day, 9am – 5pm, unless otherwise noted. Watch out for ReStore Decontruction Days and sign up through VolunteerHub.
