Volunteer

Volunteering on the build site is a fun, hands-on opportunity to build homes alongside future Habitat homeowners. No experience is required! Volunteers complete tasks related to building a home from foundations and framing to flooring and finish work.

Help build a home without picking up a hammer! Our Habitat Store generates funding in support of Habitat's mission, and they are run with the help of volunteers. Volunteers complete a variety of tasks including providing helpful customer service, pricing products, stocking shelves, creating DIY projects and displays, recycling metal, and organizing stock.

Habitat’s Women Build program brings together women and their allies to raise funds to build homes and educate and empower women in construction, a largely male dominated space.

Opportunities to get involved in Habitat’s Women Build program include serving on the Women Build Committee, supporting and/or planning events, raising funds, and working and learning on our Habitat home construction sites through hands-on Women Build specific volunteer days.

Evergreen Habitat’s Faith Build program brings local faith-based organizations and individuals from varying backgrounds and beliefs together to help fund and build affordable homes for families in Clark County.

Opportunities to get involved include serving on our Faith Relations committee, supporting fundraising efforts to build homes, building and fostering relationships with faith communities’ leadership and members, event support and planning, and working on our Habitat home construction sites through hands-on volunteer days.

You can be an important part of a build day by providing lunch for the construction volunteers. This is always a welcome service!

Offer behind-the-scenes assistance with everything from fundraising and event planning to volunteer coordination, data entry, advocacy, and more. No hardhat required!

An internship at Evergreen Habitat is ideal for volunteers of any age looking to gain skills in nonprofit administration. Interns are able to assist with more in-depth projects that require training or are invited to conduct large creative projects. As an intern you will commit to 60 hours (or more) of service conducted over 10 (or less/more) weeks. Your time can be spent on the build site assisting in construction as well as in the office assisting staff with general office administration.

Gain valuable experience by helping your community through a year of service. Known as the ‘domestic Peace Corps’, AmeriCorps is a U.S. federal government program that began in 1993. AmeriCorps members are community volunteers who dedicate themselves to completing a year of service helping to meet critical community needs through work in nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based and community organizations. AmeriCorps members receive a modest living allowance and after-service benefits.
