Volunteer

Volunteers are vital to Habitat's mission.  The vast majority of Habitat's work is done by volunteers, either on construction sites or in other areas.  We welcome people from all walks of life to help us build homes for families in need. You don't need construction experience to volunteer with Habitat, just a willingness to learn.  If you don't know how to do a task, we will train you.

Many Opportunities Beyond Construction
Volunteers contribute more than muscle. Creativity, strategy, and technical skills are among the many invaluable traits volunteers bring to the organization. With a minimal staff, Willamette West Habitat for Humanity depends upon volunteer committees for support with projects like Family Selection, Family Partnering, Public Relations, and Volunteer Coordination. We also offer opportunities in our Habitat ReStore, a volunteer-run building materials recycling center.

You Choose the Time Commitment
As a volunteer for Willamette West Habitat for Humanity, you can choose to volunteer as little or as often as you would like, from several days a week to once a year. All of these positions are a tremendous help that directly or indirectly result in the construction of simple, decent homes.

If you have any questions,  please feel free to call Volunteer Coordinator Sylvia Castellano Monday through  Friday between 11:00am and 5:00pm or send an email at info@wwhfh.org.
