Volunteers are the lifeblood of our program

We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We like to say there's a place for anyone in Habitat.

We welcome volunteers of all skill levels on our build sites, but we have great need for skilled-trades people willing to lead a small crew of other volunteers.

We are developing our Building Committee and need volunteers in project planning & management, site preparation and upkeep, and volunteer coordination. Check out the possibilities below - - Where do you see yourself?

Positions are available right now in the Development Committee include: Microsoft Access database input/update, Fundraising events coordinators, Website manager, and Church relations coordinator.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, contact our office at 262-949-0542, email us, or fill out our interest survey form and send it in. A committee/board member will contact you with more information.

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:18 NIV)

Habitat is so much more than building houses. Habitat’s housing program consists of both “building” and “family services”. For every hour on the construction site, it takes three hours serving on the eight operating committees and in the office. “Family Advocates” serving on the Family Support Committee are needed for each of our families to guide and support their “partnership” with Habitat.
Volunteers on the Church Relations Committee, Special Events & Fund Raising Committee raise cash donations and recruit more volunteers by presenting the needs and benefits of Habitat to faith-based communities and businesses, organizing fund raising events, and writing grant applications.
Public awareness of the mission of Habitat and events including groundbreakings, house dedications, fund raisers. etc. must be raised through media relations, the website, and the newsletter by volunteers on the PR Committee.
Members of the Site Selection Committee serve the ministry by identifying and recommending desirable properties for acquisition. and identifying and securing financing sources.
Family Selection Committee “Servant-Volunteers” will conduct application sessions, process the applications, and recommend “Partner Families” to the Board of Directors.
The Construction Planning Committee is always in need of construction supervisors and project coordinators; skilled trades people, engineers and architects, and in-kind donations of building materials.
Student-leaders of our Campus Chapter at UW Whitewater bring an energy and enthusiasm for the work of Habitat for Humanity throughout Walworth County.
And finally, “Servant-Leaders” are needed on our “working” Board of Directors to set goals, to inspire, and to lead.

God blesses the ministry of Habitat for Humanity through you.
