Volunteering with Habitat
Join us in building a stronger community.
Whether you're building houses, helping in the ReStore, working in the office, providing lunches, planning new ways to reach out and engage our community, or spending time as a mentor to our families, volunteering with Habitat means you are part of making a generational impact on a family's future! And, you can come out by yourself, with a friend, or you can bring a whole group!
The best part is, none of our volunteer opportunities require special skills - not even on our construction sites. All you need is a willing heart, able hands and a readiness to pitch in and help!
Of course there are a few things to keep in mind.
- You will need to fill out a waiver (see the link on the left-side of the page). Also, please remember to wear appropriate clothing, including closed toe shoes and no loose-fitting clothing, especially on our construction sites. We will provide all necessary tools and we do have a gloves, safety glasses and hard hats on site if necessary.
- You can also sign up to volunteer on your preferred day, shift & location (see the link on the left side of the page).
- Construction volunteers do need to be at least 16 years old.
- ReStore volunteers can be 13 if volunteering with an adult.
- If you would like to volunteer as a part of a group larger than 5 people, please let us know by emailing lstallings@habitatgoldsboro.org.
- If you are interested in bringing a corporate, church, club or other team-building experience, ask us about our Adopt-A-Day option by emailing lstallings@habitatgoldsboro.org.
- If you are completing court-ordered community service hours, we are happy to work with you, but please contact lstallings@habitatgoldsboro.org, and be sure to sign in and out of your site and give us at least 24 hours if you need a community service letter.
- Any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Just email lstallings@habitatgoldsboro.org or call 919-736-9592 x3.
