Volunteer

The word VOLUNTEER is defined as offering oneself or one’s services for some undertaking or purpose.  Habitat is able to achieve its mission of providing simple, decent, affordable houses to our partnering families because of the effort put forth by volunteers.  Volunteers are the backbone of our organization equipping us with the labor, resources, time and talent it takes to build homes…to build hope. 

There are many opportunities to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Tri Cities.  No previous construction skills are required!  Take the first step to becoming a volunteer and register on VolunteerUp today.

Construction

Habitat for Humanity Tri-Cities needs construction volunteers on-site Monday-Saturday 8am-4pm year-round at our multiple building sites.  Please sign up to volunteer online through VolunteerUp.  If you represent a group wishing to volunteer, please call the office at 943-5555  and speak to our Volunteer Coordinator prior to signing up online.

You must be at least 16 years old to volunteer for general construction at our worksite. Both skilled and unskilled volunteers are welcome! We promise that you’ll have a lot of fun, meet some great people, learn about construction and feel good about the time spent helping others. We welcome all ages for other volunteer efforts.

The Habitat ReStore

Volunteering at the ReStore is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the mission of Habitat.  If you are physically unable to be out at the work site, or have gifting in areas that are not showcased on the construction site, come on in and volunteer at the ReStore.  You will be helping with warehouse sales by greeting and assisting customers, pricing items, stocking new items and cashiering.

Committees

Habitat for Humanity Tri-Cities carries out its work through operating committees appointed to perform various tasks of the organization. Committees include: Family Partnering, Family Selection, Site Selection and Building Committee.

Events

There are also short-term volunteer projects to help with special fundraising events throughout the year.

Office Support

Office volunteers answer phones, translate for our Spanish-speaking families and assist staff with special projects. We’re looking for friendly folks who enjoy working with people – no office experience required!
