Volunteer My Time

Construction

Hundreds of volunteers are needed to help build houses each year. If you have no experience but are willing to learn a new skill, that is fine. If you have some experience, that is a plus. If you are a pro, we would love to have you be a crew leader, leading less skilled volunteers.

Non Construction

Saginaw Habitat for Humanity also needs volunteers to help with non-construction support tasks, such as: volunteer registration, meal service, eBay sales, office work (clerical, bulk mail, phones, computer), publicity, and transportation of volunteers and materials. If you are interested in participating on our Board of Directors or sub committees, please indicate that information on the Volunteer Interest and Skill Survey form.
