Volunteer

Without the help of our dedicated and caring volunteers, we would not be able to build as many affordable, quality homes for families in our community. Every year, we work with an average of over 2000 volunteers who put in thousands of hours of service toward supporting our mission.

You don't have to swing a hammer to help your community! We have ongoing volunteer opportunities at our construction sites and at our ReStore, but we also need help year-round with special events, landscaping, cleaning, and office projects.

*Volunteers must be 16 and older to volunteer individually at the ReStore. (Volunteers may be between the ages 14-15 at the ReStore but will need to volunteer with a parent or guardian.) Every volunteer must complete an application and waiver of liability (links in the Volunteer menu). Some volunteer opportunities may have different age restrictions.

How To Get Started

If you previously created an account through CharityProud, you will be directed to create a new account with our new volunteer management system, VolunteerHub.

Apply

It's fast, it's easy, and it's an important first step. You can tell us a little about yourself, if you have a special skill set, or if you'd like to get involved in a particular area.

APPLY

Complete The Waiver

Also fast and easy! Every volunteer must complete our waiver of liability prior to volunteering (you won't be allowed to help without it!).

COMPLETE

The fun part... where do YOU want to help out today? Choose a bunch of dates and activities all at once, or just one to test the waters. We're excited to see you!

CALENDAR

Construction

Volunteers complete almost every aspect of a Habitat home's construction. We work with volunteers of all experience levels, whether you are a retired carpenter, have never used a hammer, or anywhere between!

ReStore

Volunteers are a huge part of our Waukesha ReStore's success! The service of volunteers allows Habitat to operate the ReStore at a lower cost, which allows us to put more of our store's proceeds toward building affordable, quality homes for families in Waukesha County.

Deconstruction

Volunteers will assist our Decon team in the physical removal of material donations from donors’ homes/buildings to reduce the costs of home improvement and raise funds for Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building decent affordable housing.

Groups

Volunteering with Habitat Waukesha is a great team-building experience for organizations, schools, clubs, families, groups of friends, and more! Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, opportunities for volunteer groups are limited. Please contact the Volunteer & Marketing Manager for further details.

Community Service

Please note, if you are completing court-ordered community service, additional information is required prior to beginning your service.

Court-ordered service hours may be completed at Habitat Waukesha ReStore, however, we do not accommodate all offenses.

... and more!

There are many ways to volunteer that don't include physical labor. Use your talents to help grow the organization and give back to your community!
