Families building memories!
Home Building
Volunteering on a Habitat build site is a great opportunity for some quality parent-teen bonding time. Our site supervisor will give you age-appropriate projects that develop valuable skills. Your child will gain first-hand experience in the construction industry, which may provide insights into rewarding and lucrative career opportunities. But most importantly, you'll create fond memories that will last a lifetime.
Youth groups are encouraged to participate as long as each youth is accompanied by their parent/guardian. Volunteering on the job is an amazing team-building experience where everyone has to learn, coordinate, problem-solve, and work together to get the job done. Shifts last six hours, from 9 am to 3 pm, and are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
To volunteer on a home build site, youth must be at least 16 years old and accompanied by their parent(s) or legal guardian(s).
ReStore
Volunteering at the ReStore introduces teens to the retail and building materials industries, both of which offer a variety of career paths, including entrepreneurship. With a flexible 3-hour shift, and a minimum age of 13, the ReStore is a great option for families on the go.
Donation Drives
Children of all ages can participate in donation drives. Nothing is more heartwarming than having a child come to our office and hand over a jar of coins and bills they collected from their neighbors. Their efforts mean more to us than words can express. Lemonade stands, bake sales, and helping neighbors with miscellaneous chores are other ways children can raise money for Habitat.
