The Habitat Crew Leads were fun, friendly, and knowledgeable! You can tell they have a passion for the cause and did not hesitate to teach us the ropes and answer questions. They were so helpful! -Habitat volunteer
Crew Lead Volunteers
Volunteer 1-3x a week
While experience in construction is always welcome, the majority of our Crew Leads had no experience prior to volunteering with Habitat. New members begin as Habitat volunteers and are paired with more experienced leads while they learn Habitat’s build processes and techniques. Once they’re familiar with the different construction stages and skillsets of building a home, new Crew Leads begin to lead volunteers in performing various tasks.
