Habitat for Humanity is a registered charity providing affordable homes to in-need families, allowing them to not only enjoy the safety and comfort of a personal shelter, but also establish strength, stability, and self-reliance. Individuals interested in supporting the Habitat for Humanity cause can take advantage of several volunteer opportunities.

One of the most direct ways of supporting the Habitat for Humanity cause is to volunteer on a local project. Individuals can fill a number of positions on home build construction sites and are encouraged to bring friends and family along. Habitat for Humanity provides group volunteer options tailored to large families, community organizations, and business groups.

The organization also offers travel volunteer opportunities, which involve similar responsibilities while traveling not just throughout the US, but around the world. As part of the Global Village program, individuals and groups can build homes in over 40 nations outside of the US.

Interested individuals can visit the Habitat for Humanity website or visit a local office to learn about additional volunteer and advocacy roles with the charity, including long-term positions and volunteer opportunities at upcoming events.
