Miracles happen when our volunteers partner with Habitat and future homeowners to build affordable housing. Come be a part of this great experience. We have several categories of construction volunteers, listed below. Not sure where you fit in? Read around a little bit and call 303-447-3787 x22 or send an email to volunteer@flatironshabitat.org.
Regular Volunteers - These are the volunteers that just can’t stay away from Habitat - and we love them for that. They are the perpetual resource that drives our mission to build quality affordable housing in Boulder County. They have the Habitat Regulars come often and often come in clusters. They can be also known as - Crew Leaders: In the words of one of our long time crew leaders, “No experience is necessary for this experience of a life time.” Our crew leaders don their tool belts once or twice a month and help us keep our site in order. They welcome volunteers, help first timers find the tools they need, lead small groups on construction projects and assist in maintaining the safe and enjoyable constructions we all love. No experience is necessary and training is provided. If you are interested in becoming a crew leader contact volunteer@flatironshabitat.org.
The Wednesday Crew - Since 1994, a faithful group of volunteers have put their indelible stamp on Wednesday and on the lives of thousands of Boulder County residents. They come from all walks of life wielding hammers for Habitat, Wednesday after Wednesday. On the site the Wednesday crew can be easily spotted in their worn Flatirons Habitat t-shirts and caps working alongside partner families and other volunteers. Their clothing shows “the wear and tear” of repeated painting, caulking, and other building activities. Their shoes are real clodhoppers and their hairdo includes a hardhat. What gives them away, however, is their smile - it radiates their compassion and joy. For information on joining, contact volunteer@flatironshabitat.org.
Individual Volunteers - Learn new skills! Get outside! Meet new people! Come build with us!
We work with volunteers on our construction site on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday each week. No experience is necessary and all necessary tools are provided. We ask all volunteers to volunteer for a full work day from 8am-4pm. To register to volunteer please email volunteer@flatironshabitat.org.
Corporate Team Builds - Team build days are an excellent way to build teamwork within your work force while doing good in the community. For more information on how your company can schedule a tema build click here.
Group Work Days - A group work day on a Habitat construction site can be a great fellowship activity, or chance to hang out with friends and family. We schedule groups of 10-15 volunteers on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. To register for a group work day please fill out the group registration form and fax it to 303-245-0699 or email it to volunteer@flatironshabitat.org.
Please note, we schedule groups at least 90 days in advance. Our sponsoring groups are given scheduling priority as it is those who provide both financial support and volunteer time that allow us to build affordable homes. Please click here for sponsorship information.
