Volunteer

Habitat for Humanity Calcasieu Area is a volunteer-driven organization. With minimal staff, Habitat depends on volunteer involvement in construction and other aspects of the organization to further our mission of ending poverty housing.  Habitat seeks both skilled and unskilled construction volunteers.  Skilled construction volunteers assist staff members in directing small groups of volunteers on the build site.  Since most construction tasks require only a desire to learn and ability work well with others,  we encourage all willing volunteers, regardless of skill level, to come on site and learn from our more seasoned builders.    Non-construction help is also needed on the build site with hospitality and registration.

Volunteer construction days are Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturdays 8:00 am to 3:00 pm as scheduled.

Individuals:
Habitat for Humanity Calcasieu Area offers opportunities for you to experience each phase of home building, from framing walls to landscaping. We make every effort to include all willing volunteers who are at least 16 years old, regardless of skill level.  

Groups:
 Habitat welcomes groups from businesses, churches, and other organizations to volunteer on our construction sites.  Groups can vary in size, and we  do our best to accommodate any special requests.  We ask groups to provide a leader to facilitate communication between your group and our staff.
