Family Advocates

Family advocate volunteers give support and guidance to newly-selected Habitat partner families from the time they are selected through to homeownership. To be a Habitat Family Advocate you should have the traits listed below.

• A caring, people-friendly personality
• The ability to work closely with different ethnic, socio-economic, family-type groups
• An awareness of the challenges facing low-income families in our society
• A desire to help people reach their goals

Family Advocate Training is provided, and Advocates are supported by members of the Family Support Team who are all current or former advocates themselves.

Office Administration and Support

We need friendly, cheerful volunteers to answer the telephone, greet visitors, input data, and help with general office duties. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9AM to 5PM.

Mailings and Special Events

Volunteers can help with labeling, stuffing, and sorting our mailings ready for the nice people at the post office. We also host occasional special events and need help doing everything from serving coffee to handing out brochures.

Corporate Group Lunch Providers

Provide simple lunches for volunteer construction crews (10-12 people) from local businesses and corporations working with us. This is a great volunteer opportunity for groups!
