Individual Volunteer Opportunities |
Getting Started
Step 1: Attend a Volunteer Orientation/HabitTour and Create a Volunteer Profile HERE
All individual volunteers must create a volunteer profile through VolunteerHub .Please note that you must be at least 16 years old to volunteer on a job site. Follow the link and click “create profile” (or “sign-in” if a profile has already been created).
Once you’ve made a profile, you will need to register for a HabiTour. HabiTours are one hour volunteer orientations where we go more in-depth about the Habitat mission and volunteer opportunities. You can register for an upcoming Orientation/HabiTour through your VolunteerHub login.
Step 2: Sign-up for a volunteer shift
After you attend a HabiTour, you can begin signing up volunteer shifts. Just log into your volunteer profile to see a list of available volunteer days.
