COMMITTEES

Please check the box next to a committee on which you may be interested in serving.

When volunteering to sign up for a committee, please keep in mind a couple of things:

1. We ask you to commit for a full 12-months so that there is continuity within the committee, and so there is time to teach you about Habitat for Humanity and allow you time to be a productive, contributing committee member.

2. We try very hard to utilize the skills and talents of volunteers, but we sometimes are so busy running a project or event we sometimes don't get back to you as quickly as we'd like. So, if that happens, please accept our apologies up front, and... please be patient!
