SWEAT EQUITY

Sweat equity is a core component of the Habitat program. Partner families can earn sweat equity by volunteering at Habitat build sites, volunteering at the Habitat Store, and volunteering at the Habitat office. We also offer several online sweat equity opportunities.

For an updated list of current online and in-person sweat equity opportunities, see HERE

To volunteer in-person, please register in advance HERE 

You may also contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Amy Allamong, at volunteer@cvillehabitat.org or at 434-218-9900 to sign up for in-person hours.
