Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer-dependent organization; without great volunteers like you, we cannot accomplish our mission of providing safe and affordable housing for hard-working families in Douglas County. All are welcome!
All volunteers must complete an annual volunteer waiver prior to helping.
- Adult Volunteer Waiver (online)

Why volunteer?
Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County is an excellent way to meet new people and work toward a single mission - to build strong and stable communities because improved communities benefit all of us.
Studies show that people who volunteer live longer and hold higher levels of self-confidence.
Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes, races and beliefs, professions, and skills. One thing that all Habitat volunteers have in common: they are critically important to furthering the organization’s mission in our community.
The majority of our volunteer opportunities happen on our build sites or in the ReStore. We occasionally need volunteers to help with office work or special event help as well.
Construction Volunteers
There are many volunteer opportunities on the build site including: framing, siding, insulation, poly, sheetrock, windows, doors, painting, landscaping, and more! Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to volunteer on the build site.
ReStore Volunteers
The ReStore depends heavily on volunteers to help work the sales floor, take donations in the back room, serve on the pick up crew, and more! ReStore volunteers must be age 14 or above.
