Construction Site Leader , directs and supervises the entire project including the Crew Leaders and volunteers. It is possible for two to three qualified people to share this responsibility throughout the duration of the build. The Site Leader should have the experience required to guide the Crew Leaders through most aspects of residential home construction. This person also should have experience in reading construction documents, developing a work plan for a crew, laying out specific material placement, and accurately explaining the layout to Crew Leaders and crews. This individual should be able to delegate tasks and responsibilities, while providing leadership and motivation to the volunteer crew.

Construction Crew Leader , Habitat for Humanity needs people with some construction skills and people skills who can volunteer on occasional Saturdays as Crew Leaders. On Saturdays, each house has a Site Leader who can show the crew leaders what needs to be done. The Crew Leaders show the unskilled volunteers what to do, but always have the Site Leader to go to if they have questions. The houses are simple, so Crew Leaders don't need to know everything about construction. They just have to be willing to work with eager, unskilled volunteers in small groups of about five.

Skilled Construction Volunteers , Some people are handy with tools but are not comfortable being crew leaders. Saturdays go more smoothly, though, if we have some handy people working alongside the unskilled volunteers. Even if you can only show up for a Saturday once every few months, that is extremely helpful.

Unskilled Construction Volunteers absolutely no skills necessary. No time commitment necessary.

Skilled Tradespeople   One of our greatest and most costly needs in home construction is the specific skill that can only be performed by skilled HVAC, electricians, and plumbers. Anyone who has professional experience in this field is a highly prized volunteer. We work flexibly with scheduling.
