Evergreen Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer-driven organization. Habitat volunteers have the unique opportunity to help shape the community in which they live and affect real change in the lives of our family partners. We encourage everyone with compassion and dedication to become a volunteer with Evergreen Habitat. No matter what your skill level, we can match you with opportunities to develop your skills and put your talents into action.

Ways to Get Involved
Help Us Build
By working side-by-side with the family partner, our construction volunteers experience the joy created when a family is able to realize their dream of homeownership. Volunteers are involved in most phases of home construction. Construction volunteers must be over 18 years old.
Women Build
Women Build is a program through Habitat for Humanity International that brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions of women and children worldwide. Work with other women on fundraising and building a house for a local family. No experience required but you must be 16 or older to work on the build site.
A Brush With Kindness
A Brush With Kindness (ABWK) is our home refurbishment program for low-income homeowners. Some projects completed through this program have included painting, debris removal and trim repair. For most ABWK projects, volunteers 12 and over can volunteer.
Become a Crew Leader
A Crew Leader is trained to assist the construction staff by working with a small group of volunteers and instructing them on tasks such as painting, installing trim or siding and framing. With plans to build multiple houses in multiple locations, Crew Leaders will be vital in the completion of the homes. Training is provided.
Constuction Site Host
Assist with Sign-In and Orientation at the build site. Site Host is a less physical option to volunteering on our build site. General duties include greeting and registering volunteers as they arrive, ensuring all paperwork is completed and assisting with daily onsite orientation. One Site Host is needed for each build day and build site.
Beyond Construction
Habitat volunteers contribute more than muscle. Evergreen Habitat has many opportunities to make the work we do possible including helping out in the office, staffing events and working independently on special projects. We also have many opportunities for kids and teens to get involved.
Committees
With a minimal staff, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity depends on volunteer committees to help with family selection, construction, faith relations, administration, marketing, and volunteer services. Each committee meets on a monthly basis. Our next Committee Information Session is January 25, 2012. Join us to learn more about joining a committee.
AmeriCorps
There are many opportunities to serve with Habitat for Humanity through this program. 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.
