Volunteer Overview

Volunteers are vital to our mission!

Volunteers are the driving force behind Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County – those dedicated people who contribute a day, a week, a few months, and in some cases, many years to bring Habitat's mission to life. 

Volunteers help with everything from building and repairing homes, to assisting at our ReStore and doing community outreach events. Most positions require no experience, just a willingness to show up and learn! We have fun and meaningful opportunities year-round.

Please contact our office at 320-762-4255 with any questions about volunteering.
