Opportunities From: VolunteerWNY

Niagara Area Habitat for Humanity is seeking new construction volunteers to help build our newest Habitat home on 61st St in Niagara Falls. No construction/trade experience is required, just a can-do attitude and desire to help change a family's life. Volunteer once a month or as often as you'd like!

Members of the Faith Relations Committee focus on getting local faith communities involved in various ways in creating safe, decent, affordable housing in our community. The Faith Relations committee is responsible for establishing and maintaining communications from local faith partners in support of Habitat’s mission. This position is responsible for the recruitment of new faith partners, along with coordinating church relations activities and church sponsorship of projects.

Are you looking for something fulfilling to spend your time doing? Do you love working with your hands, using tools, and sharing your skills while helping other people? Become a Construction Crew Chief with Niagara Area Habitat for Humanity!

Volunteer Crew Chiefs are an essential part of our team, leading small groups of unskilled volunteers at Habitat build sites to accomplish a specific scope of work. Their task is to be clear about the assignment (e.g. put up siding, install windows, etc.) and then train and oversee the volunteers on their “team” in executing that task. A Crew Chief should be a people person, possess some basic construction aptitude, enjoy leadership, and be able to learn tasks quickly and then demonstrate those tasks to others.

Crew Chiefs commit to serving two days per month for at least one year and work closely with our Construction Manager. You will gain construction and leadership skills through this unique experience, and help to supervise small groups of volunteers to increase Niagara Area Habitat’s volunteer capacity and help us to build more homes!
