Construction Volunteer

Habitat hosts two builds a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Due to the limitations in days and the number of people allowed at the build site at once, we cannot accept “walk-on” volunteers. Individuals must be registered before they volunteer and they must have signed up for a shift on the volunteer calendar to participate.

Training is provided on site and volunteers do not need to have experience to be part of a Habitat building crew. A work day is 8am – 2pm.

Office Volunteer

Habitat is in need of an office volunteer that is able to assist with some data entry work, approximately 10-20 hours a week, depending on your speed. Shifts can range from 4 hours or less, must have Microsoft excel skills and they can assist on weekdays or Saturdays. The volunteer will be required to work within the Habitat office space on site. There will be some brief training to get you started. If you are interested, please reach out to the volunteer manager: Regina Red at: regina@habitatabq.org or 505-359-2432.

ReStore Volunteer

Volunteering at the ReStore is a great way to help Habitat for Humanity because all the profits earned from store sales goes into building affordable homes. Volunteer activities include organizing inventory, sorting merchandise, providing customer service, helping in the receiving area, and other special projects. Retail experience and knowledge of building materials is helpful but not required. Building or handyman skills are a plus.

ReStore volunteers must undergo an orientation before signing up for their first shift. You can schedule an orientation during the signup process.

Repair Program

Our Repair Program provides minor home repairs to alleviate safety issues and restore the appearance of home exteriors. The Repair Program works diligently alongside all Albuquerque homeowners.

Habitat’s Repair Program is in need of volunteers to help with upcoming home repair projects beginning mid-March. Our Repair Program provides home preservation repairs to alleviate safety issues and restore the appearance of home exteriors.

This is a great opportunity for small groups, youth, & individuals, new dates will be added every month.

Group Volunteers

(Now Open – Welcoming Volunteers)

Groups quickly discover how successful they can be when working together as a team. Habitat has many volunteer opportunities for corporations and businesses, faith communities and local organizations to volunteer together. Whether volunteering for a single day building a home or spending a few hours repairing one, your time and dedication helps reduce our labor costs, which in turn allows us to purchase more materials, tools, and other necessities to get our families into their new homes, or assisting with improving the quality of life to keep other homeowners safe.
