Past Projects
Construction
Volunteering at a Habitat construction site is a uniquely rewarding experience. Under the direction of the site manager, volunteers work alongside our experienced, dedicated construction team and partner families to build affordable homes for low-income families, while having a great time learning construction skills.
Volunteers assist with construction tasks as assigned, according to the progression of the build. No previous construction experience is necessary, however, willingness to follow Habitat’s safety standards and construction practices is a must.
Age Restriction: 16 years or older

Groups
We love volunteer groups! Pull together your friends, family, or coworkers, and have fun making a difference. Some group volunteer opportunities require sponsorship while others do not. We welcome all types of groups—corporate, faith, student, and community groups.
With your help on the construction site, from the foundation to the finishing touches, we can make affordable housing in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties a reality. We look forward to building with you!
Corporate Team Building
Corporate Team Build Days can be used as a reward for hard-working employees; an annual community service project; a team building experience; or simply a fun way to get to know a different side of your co-workers. To sponsor a Corporate Team Build, or get more information click below.
