IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

SAFETY GEAR
Certified green-tagged steel-toed footwear, safety glasses and hard hats are MANDATORY on the Build site. In many cases heavy duty gloves will come in handy. Habitat Thousand Islands has a fairly good selection of safety gear to loan to volunteers for the day, but cannot guarantee a perfect fit every time. Please bring your own safety gear if you have it.

All Habitat for Humanity volunteers must sign a Release and Waiver Liability Form before starting work. We will give you the form when you arrive for your first shift.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

While it certainly isn't necessary for a volunteer to have any construction experience, knowing your level helps us build better teams.

We shall do our best to assign you a role that meets your interests and skills. But note that your availability and the needs of the build project will determine where and when volunteers are placed. Final decision rests with our Build site Supervisor.
