Volunteer Guidelines
We meet at our designated worksite at 7:45 a.m. Construction activities should be complete by 3 p.m. When you arrive at the site, each one of the volunteers will need to sign in and get a nametag.
Under the direction of qualified Construction Leaders, volunteers will participate in framing, roofing, vinyl siding installation, painting, landscaping and cleanup on the home construction site. Due to a limited number of hand tools, we ask that volunteers bring hammers, nail aprons and work gloves with them to the construction site.
Children under the age of 16 are not permitted on the construction site.
Wear comfortable work clothes and sturdy shoes ( no sandals ). A hat, sunscreen and lightweight raincoat or rain poncho may be needed. In the event of inclement weather, work may be delayed or cancelled, but we ask scheduled groups to report to the job site for verification from the Construction Superintendent.
Drinking water will be provided at each worksite throughout the day and the volunteers will be provided with lunch. Eating lunch on-site is a great bonding experience between volunteers and homeowners and we encourage groups to do so.
Safety instructions will be explained in the morning. For serious injury, call 911 and immediately and report to Habitat personnel.
Our aim is to provide a unique volunteer experience that is both positive and enriching for all participants. Please call Cheryl Dziurzynski at (904) 826-3252 x2006, if you have additional questions. We look forward to seeing you!
