Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Habitat for Humanity of Broward seeks volunteers with skills as well as compassion. Some of our volunteers are skilled carpenters, while others just have good hearts and willing hands. The common thread is the desire to give back to the community. By donating your time, you can make a difference in the lives of families in need throughout Broward County!
According to federal law, all construction volunteers must be age 16 or older. No one under the age of 16 will be permitted on the construction site for safety and liability reasons. Volunteers ages 16 - 17 must keep their feet on the ground at all times. There are no restrictions for volunteers age 18 and up.
Individual Volunteers
Saturdays
Construction volunteer opportunities will resume in March! Stay tuned for emails detailing how to sign up.
Please join our email list to make sure that you receive updates.
We are in the process of updating our Saturday volunteer sign-up procedure to ensure the most efficient system for our volunteers.
Weekdays
During the month of March our jobsites will be closed as we host more than 200 student volunteers during the annual Collegiate Challenge program!
Our weekday construction opportunities will resume in April. Thank you for your patience.
