Volunteering as an Individual
Help build a Habitat home–join our construction crew
Most Habitat volunteers join our construction crew and help build Habitat houses in the City of New Haven. We build year-round, Tuesday through Saturday from 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our construction staff works alongside the volunteers and trains them for the tasks that are to be done that day. Most volunteers have little or no construction experience when they begin working. Due to the amount of training we invest in our volunteers, we encourage volunteers to make a steady commitment if possible.
Currently, we are scheduling individual volunteers Tuesday through Saturday. Please contact Ellen McNally, Habitat Volunteer Coordinator, at emcnally@habitatgnh.org or call (203) 785-0794, x.10 for more information about volunteering as an individual. You can also apply online.
All volunteers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the work site. We cannot provide or arrange transportation.
Volunteer in the Habitat office
Occasionally, we have opportunities in our office. Volunteers work with the Habitat office staff performing a wide range of administrative tasks. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Join a committee
Volunteers also help plan building projects, locate building sites, raise funds, and much more. Committees generally meet once a month on a weekday evening in New Haven. Volunteers who are fluent Spanish speakers are particularly needed.
Please contact the Habitat staff at (203) 785-0794 regarding committee volunteering.
