Individual Volunteers

Thank you for considering a contribution of your time and talents.

We rely greatly on the generosity of caring volunteers to help fulfill our mission.

There are many ways for individuals to get involved – from working on our construction site, to helping in our office, to joining a committee of interest. Any way you can help is greatly appreciated.

Construction Volunteers

Individual volunteers need to attend a volunteer orientation before volunteering with Habitat. These are held every other month. See above for how to register.

Volunteer once or regularly.

We work on construction sites year round, Wednesday through Saturday 8:30a.m. – 3:30p.m.

Volunteers report to our construction center at 1631 Rowan Street at 8:30 a.m.

Construction Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

You may volunteer for new construction or rehabilitation projects.

All volunteers are required to sign a Waiver and Release of Liability Form. A parent or legal guardian’s signature is required if the volunteer is under 18 years of age.

You may bring your own tools although it isn’t necessary, please label them if you do.

From time to time, we also use DeConstruction Volunteers to go into buildings and remove items that can be sold in ReStore to help create a sustainable income for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Louisville. No construction experience is necessary, but you must be able to do physical activity and follow directions.
