Corporate & Committee Events
Sponsor groups (groups that raise the money to build the homes) always have the right of first refusal for volunteer days on the jobsite, but rarely schedule volunteers every work day.  This allows us to provide hands-on team building opportunities with you and your group on some construction tasks.  Just call or email us to discuss options.  And please let us know if your company encourages volunteering, if so you could join the ranks of companies like these...

Advocates build a relationship with the family, and while generally requiring just a couple hours a month, this volunteer position is one of the most important aspects of the success of the Partner Families.  For more information...

The Habitat Store
The Habitat Store needs volunteers to help with customer service and processing donations. The Store sells new and used building materials donated by the local community. Proceeds go towards the construction of Habitat homes in the Charlottesville area. We especially need volunteers who can regularly lift heavy merchandise. Cashiers needed as well. Many vacancies! 2-4 hour commitment on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis in a fun, laid-back work environment. Interested?
