Work alongside future homeowners and fellow volunteers to build safe, affordable homes. No experience required!

We are in need of skilled construction volunteers.

Volunteer for a day of building on our construction sites! Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer driven organization serving families and neighborhoods in the county.  By working alongside our dedicated construction team, regular volunteers, and partner families you will help us build Habitat houses while having a great time learning construction skills. With your help on the construction site, from the foundation to the finishing touches, we can make affordable housing in the Gloucester County a reality.

Habitat homes are built with 80% volunteer labor. We depend on individuals like you who are willing to come out and swing a hammer on the construction site to build homes and a lasting future for families in need. . We provide you with all of  training necessary on site. Must be at least 18 years old. Contact us to find out our upcoming construction volunteer schedule and reserve your spot at the next build day.

We look forward to building with you.

What to Expect as a Construction Volunteer:

In Case of Rain:

If the weather forecasts rain for your volunteer date, please continue to report to the work site in the morning. Often volunteers are assigned to indoor tasks or to assist with protecting buildings and/or tools from the rain. It is very rare that we cancel a work day.

Skills:

You will be working with a Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity team member. If you have previous experience with a certain skill and would like to utilize it please inform us during volunteer registration. Throughout the day if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask one of the team leads.
