Grab a hammer and join us on a home build. Construction volunteers play a crucial role, working alongside experienced crew leaders in tasks like framing, painting, installations, finishing punch lists and more. Your hands-on contribution directly impacts families and creates a lasting legacy of positive change. Everyone is welcome and no prior construction experience is required.
Please note these opportunities are only available during the active construction timeline of a home build. There are minimum age requirements to participate.
Volunteer crew leaders play a pivotal role in guiding fellow volunteers on both the Home Repair team and construction sites. You’ll provide essential leadership and training, steering each project toward successful completion. On home repair projects, crew leaders are responsible for much of the work with other volunteers serving as assistants.
We are always looking for crew leaders, especially for the home repair team.
Basic repair skills are necessary for the crew leader position. See the crew leader role description for more information.
