Volunteer

East St. Tammany Parish

Construction

It takes several volunteers who are willing to give a day, week or month to turn a truck load of construction materials into a new home for a deserving family. Building a home alongside other volunteers and partner families is a great way to be part of something bigger.

Core Program

A Habitat Core Volunteer is literally just that: the “core” that keeps everything intact. You can become part of our “Core” on the build site.

You will have the opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, and develop leadership skills. To be a Core Volunteer, you must be able to commit to one day a month (or more if you desire) to your volunteer position.

Construction Core

Construction Core Volunteers learn all aspects of the build process. Specialized training includes framing, roofing, trusses, painting, and more. 

You will have the opportunity to enhance your knowledge in construction, learn new skills, meet new people, and develop leadership skill. To be a Construction Core Volunteer, you must be able to commit to at least one shift a month.
