Individual Opportunities
Whether it's construction work, helping feed volunteers or serving on a Habitat committee, there are many opportunities available to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity of Dane County. You can register at www.habitatdane.volunteerhub.com to see what ongoing projects are available.

We need you to help build it!
Construction Site Leaders
Help Habitat families build their new homes! Construction volunteers are needed at all skill levels. Workdays are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. You must be at least 18. Sign up under the “General Neighborhood” event listings in our Volunteer Hub.

Crew Leaders
Do you have high-level construction skills in areas such as foundation finishing (sealing & insulation), framing, roofing, installing siding, soffits and fascia, wall insulation, drywall hanging and finishing, painting, staining and varnishing, landscaping? You could help lead small groups of eager-to-learn volunteers. Contact Ben Delzer to find out more!

Lunch/Snack Provider
Prepare and serve lunch or snack for Saturday building crews. A great way to meet Habitat volunteers and the families that are building with us. The lunch providers are always appreciated.

Site Hosts
Do you want to be on the construction site, but not involved with actual construction? A site host volunteer may be the perfect role for you. Site hosts volunteer on Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Site hosts help volunteers to sign in and fill out registration cards, coordinate coffee break preparation, general site organization, and lunch set-up and clean-up.

Road Runner/Warehouse Volunteer
We are seeking volunteers to drive Habitat's vehicles in order to transport tools and materials from our warehouse to specific job sites as well as to transport materials between job sites. In addition, we need volunteers who are able to deliver materials from our vendors to job sites or to our warehouse. This volunteer position requires a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, the ability to lift and load up to 50lbs and the willingness and desire to perform the duties required for some warehouse inventory work when waiting for construction deliveries. The vehicles that you will be required to drive for the most part do not require a commercial drivers license (CDL), but volunteers with that license designation would be gratefully appreciated. Our vehicles are: Ford F150 4x4 vehicle with a tool box topper and you must be able to use mirrors to back up . This vehicle has solid topper. Our other vehicle is a 1994 GMC 3500 box or cube truck and you have to be able to use mirrors to back up vehicle. The dump truck is a 1994 GMC with a manual transmission - all three require the ability to back up using mirrors. All our vehicles are DOT certified.

Committees
Help us achieve the BIG Picture! Committee volunteers help us to make important decisions that affect where and when we build, who is selected for a Habitat home, and how to extend our community. Committees include Benefit Dinner, Family Selection, Family Support, Finance, Construction, Tithe, Development and Communications. For more information, check out our full committee descriptions and contact information here.

Homeownership Mentors
A Homeownership Mentor works one-on-one to provide support and guidance for families as they build their home. The transition from renting to homeownership can be intimidating. This one-on-one relationship is an effective way to fill the need for support during this time.

Homeownership mentors should expect to commit about five hours a month to mentor their Habitat family during the six-month building process and the year after the build. A willingness to work in an educational and non-judgmental manner is a plus. For more information, contact Angie Grim at 255-1549, ext. 101 or agrim@habitatdane.org.

Office Volunteer
Do you understand different kinds of databases? Can you file alphabetically forward and backward? Can you spend a couple of hours a week with our friendly office staff? Sign up to volunteer at the HFHDC office! Call 255-1549, ext. 104 or e-mail mkenney@habitatdane.org. 

Green Team Member (Landscaping)
The Green Team landscapes the homes of HFHDC families. They also help the families choose and place their landscaping materials, train the families in the care and maintenance of their new landscaping, troubleshoot problems with landscaping and raise money for landscaping efforts through the annual plant sale. Most of our work is seasonal (May, June, September and early October). To learn more call 255-1549, ext. 104 or e-mail mkenney@habitatdane.org.
