CONSTRUCTION SITE VOLUNTEERS

Habitat for Humanity of Southeastern Connecticut relies on our volunteers to build homes for families in need in our area. We require all volunteers to attend a ‘Foundations of Habitat' orientation and training prior to volunteering in any capacity. Click Here for information on this class.

Build Days are: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and some Sundays. You must register for construction activities. Sign up online through Volunteer UP.

Please Note - children under age 16 are not permitted on the work site in accordance with US child labor laws. Workers between the ages of 16 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and are not allowed to use power tools.

When volunteering at a Habitat construction site, you may want to bring your own work gloves, hammer, or tool belt, but if you do not have these items they will be available at site. Sandals or other open-toed shoes are not permitted on the work site.

Habitat suggests that you dress in layers, which can be modified as the day progresses. There will be tools on site, but many people prefer to use their own tools. Any small tools you wish to bring is welcome, except power tools. We use only Habitat power tools at our work sites. Remember to label your personal tools before the day and take them home with you when you leave.

In effort to help preserve the environment and our budget,  please bring a water bottle and a to-go coffee mug that can be refilled throughout the day, instead of using disposable cups.
