Ways To Get Involved

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. Habitat volunteers have the unique opportunity to help shape the community in which they live and affect real change in the lives of our families. No matter what your skill level, we can match you with opportunities to develop your skills and put your talents into action.

For questions on any of these volunteer opportunities and to learn more, contact Volunteer Coordinator, Miranda at volunteer@ehfh.org or (360) 737-1759.


To sign up to volunteer for any of these opportunities, create a profile in our online volunteer site below. From there, you can sign up for shifts that work for you!

New Construction

Volunteering on the build site is a fun, hands-on opportunity to build homes alongside future Habitat homeowners. No experience is required! Volunteers complete tasks related to building a home from foundations and framing to flooring and finish work.


Clark County Habitat Store

Help build a home without picking up a hammer! Our Habitat Store generates funding in support of Habitat's mission, and they are run with the help of volunteers. Volunteers complete a variety of tasks including providing helpful customer service, pricing products, stocking shelves, creating DIY projects and displays, recycling metal, and organizing stock.


Women Build

Habitat’s Women Build program brings together women and their allies to raise funds to build homes and educate and empower women in construction, a largely male dominated space.

Opportunities to get involved in Habitat’s Women Build program include serving on the Women Build Committee, supporting and/or planning events, raising funds, and working and learning on our Habitat home construction sites through hands-on Women Build specific volunteer days. 

See full Women Build web page here.


Faith Build

Evergreen Habitat’s Faith Build program brings local faith-based organizations and individuals from varying backgrounds and beliefs together to help fund and build affordable homes for families in Clark County.

Opportunities to get involved include serving on our Faith Build committee, supporting fundraising efforts to build homes, building and fostering relationships with faith communities’ leadership and members, event support and planning, and working on our Habitat home construction sites through hands-on volunteer days. 

See full Faith Build web page here.


Construction Lunch Provider

You can be an important part of a build day by providing lunch for the construction volunteers. This is always a welcome service!


Office Support

Offer behind-the-scenes assistance with everything from fundraising and event planning to volunteer coordination, data entry, advocacy, and more. No hardhat required!


Youth Involvement

Looking for ways to keep young children and youth involved in the community but finding it difficult because of age restrictions and liability? We are always looking for new and creative ways to keep future generations engaged and active in affordable housing in our community.

View project ideas here or contact Miranda at volunteer@ehfh.org or (360) 737-1759 to learn more.


Committees

Evergreen Habitat for Humanity depends on volunteer committees to help with family services and support, faith relations, finance, and development. Each committee meets on a monthly basis. If you’re interested in joining a committee, contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Miranda at (360) 737-1759 or volunteer@ehfh.org.


Internships

An internship at Evergreen Habitat is ideal for volunteers of any age looking to gain skills in nonprofit administration. Interns are able to assist with more in-depth projects that require training or are invited to conduct large creative projects. As an intern you will commit to 60 hours (or more) of service conducted over 10 (or less/more) weeks. Your time can be spent on the build site assisting in construction as well as in the office assisting staff with general office administration.


AmeriCorps

Gain valuable experience by helping your community through a year of service. Known as the ‘domestic Peace Corps’, AmeriCorps is a U.S. federal government program that began in 1993. AmeriCorps members are community volunteers who dedicate themselves to completing a year of service helping to meet critical community needs through work in nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based and community organizations. AmeriCorps members receive a modest living allowance and after-service benefits.

Group Opportunities

Group Build on Construction Site

Group Build partners are businesses and civic organizations that coordinate a day of team and home building with Evergreen Habitat for Humanity. Investing in Habitat for Humanity through volunteer service and a financial contribution doubles your group’s impact. The dream of homeownership is possible for families in Clark County through Habitat for Humanity and its community of supporters. Become a committed Group Build partner and we will work together to provide permanent housing solutions for deserving local families.

By the end of a Group Build day, colleagues, families, friends, and coworkers will have learned new skills and worked hard together impacting the community and themselves in a truly unique way.


Group Day at the Habitat Store

Volunteering with your group in the Clark County Habitat Store is a great way to support Habitat's mission without swinging a hammer! Spend a day or half day working in the Habitat Store. Tasks range from pricing product, creating displays, shelving products, painting and handy projects, and more.


For questions regarding a Group Build, Group Day at the Habitat Store or to schedule, contact Habitat’s Volunteer Coordinator at (360) 737-1759 or volunteer@ehfh.org.
