Volunteer
Here's How to Get Involved
We are now accepting court-ordered and lawyer-recommended volunteers who need community service hours for traffic violations.
Please email volunteer@shrhabitat.org to schedule your intake if you need community service hours.
Letters will not be provided to those individuals who did not complete an intake prior to completing hours.
Construction Volunteer Orientation
Please note you will need to attend an in person orientation before registering to volunteer in construction.
Group leaders should also attend an orientation, however we recognize that this may not be possible for everyone. Please email volunteer@shrhabitat.org for alternative to an in person group leader orientation.
Previous construction volunteers should take orientation as well, but we can waive this requirement on a case by case basis. Please email us at the email above for more information and include your full name so we can determine if we can waive orientation.
Orientations will take place the the 1st Wednesday evening and the 3rd Saturday morning of every month.
To register for orientation click below:
You must be 18 to volunteer in Construction.
Those 16 and older may volunteer in the ReStore with a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian (see below) returned to: volunteer@shrhabitat.org.
