Volunteer

WE DEPEND ON YOU!

Cape Area Habitat is a volunteer-driven organization. We welcome people from all walks of life to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with God and families in need. Though the vast majority have no construction experience or building skills, volunteers are involved in most phases of construction. By working side-by-side with the family who will live in the house, our volunteers experience for themselves the joy created when a family is able to realize their dream of home ownership.

Habitat volunteers contribute more than muscle. Creativity, strategy, and technical skills are among the many invaluable traits volunteers bring to the organization. With a minimal staff, Cape Area Habitat depends upon volunteer committees for support with projects like Family Selection, Family Support, Public Relations, Construction Skills Training, and Volunteer Services.

We invite volunteers to help us build, assist in the office,  serve on committees, and help with special projects that benefit the organization. Time commitments vary; some volunteers dedicate every day of the week to Cape Area Habitat and others spend just a few hours each month working on projects.  As a volunteer for Cape Area Habitat, you can choose to volunteer as little or as often as you would like. All of these positions are a tremendous help that directly or indirectly result in the construction of simple, decent homes.

We are currently seeking people who can serve on our Family Selection and Family Support committees.  We also need office volunteers. Donate your time by project or through committee work.

Cape Area Habitat offers opportunities for you to  help with all aspects of home building.  You do not need to be an expert in construction to help out on a work site. There are many tasks that require only a willingness to learn and work with others. On-site construction work is the most popular of Habitat’s volunteer opportunities. We make every effort to incorporate all willing volunteers regardless of skill level. All volunteers on the construction site must be at least 16 years of age or older. We will work rain or shine!

Check out our calendar and let us know if you wish to help out! We can accommodate groups as well!
