Volunteer workdays are held on Saturdays,
beginning at 8:00 AM and continuing into the mid-afternoon if necessary. Volunteers should
call the Habitat Office at 704-864-6536 to be sure that the workday has not been canceled
due to weather or construction delays. Lunch is provided for volunteers on Saturdays. Some
work continues during the week, usually done by sub-contractors; volunteers may call the
Habitat Office to see if they are needed. Volunteers do not have to be skilled in any area
of work; professionals will be available each day to give directions. Volunteers must sign
a waiver of liability form at the sign-in desk at the building site before working, and
must sign in each time they work so that volunteer hours can be counted. Children under 18
are restricted to certain activities; check with the Habitat Office before bringing
children on site. Children MUST be supervised by a parent/guardian, and a waiver for
children under age 18, must be signed by parent/guardian prior to activity.
