Groups

We generally reserve Saturdays for groups and we can accomodate a maximum of 16 people per day. If you have a larger group or wish to come on a week day, let us know as early as possible and we can try to to arrange it. Sign up soon because our schedule fills up quickly.

Requirements for groups are as follows:

Please identify a group leader. This is the contact person for the group and the person with whom we will communicate.
All volunteers need to fill out and submit a liability waiver. This is the responsibility of the group leader.
Habitat for Humanity provides water but lunch should be provided by the group.

The Fine Print

We require that all volunteers sign and submit a Liability Waiver for each house and/or project on which they work. You will NOT be allowed to volunteer without signing a waiver.

Please download, read and sign the Release and Waiver of Liability Form (PDF).
If you are younger than 18, the Release and Waiver of Liability Form for Minors (PDF) signed by a parent or legal guardian.
For groups, please submit the signed waivers one week in advance of your scheduled shift. For individuals, bring the signed waiver with you to the work site. We also have copies available on site.
For the Habitat Construction Safety Policy, click here (PDF).

What to Expect

We generally work rain or shine. Dress accordingly; layers work best.
You must wear closed-toed shoes. No sandals, flip flops, bare feet.
We'll have water and cups on site, but you should bring snacks and food.
We have all the tools and materials so you don't have to bring anything, unless you've been specifically asked to do so. However, if you have a favorite hammer, bring it along! (Make sure your name is on it.)
You don't have to have any specific knowledge to volunteer on our worksite. We will train you on whatever you need to know.

Map to Hope Court

We built the road ourselves and it doesn't actually show up on the map. But this is where it is - approximately 1/4 mile north of Cty Rd OT, just off of Sand Lake Road.
