Volunteer Information

Thank you so much for your interest and willingness to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County. I’m thrilled that you desire to give your time, energy, and skills to help a family in need to achieve the dream of homeownership. Our volunteers are the backbone of Habitat, and we can’t achieve our vision of ‘everyone having a decent place to live’ without you.

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is ultimately about serving God and the people in our community. It’s about giving to others and serving with others so that everybody knows that as we build a house, we are really building hope.

To begin volunteering with Habitat, we have a simple 2-step process to get you started:

  • Fill out a Volunteer Interest form
    This allows us to get some basic information about you, your areas of interest, and what skills you have. We will add you to our database so you can receive all of the latest news about Habitat volunteer opportunities and events!

  • Attend a VOX class (volunteer orientation)  
    At our orientation, you will learn all of the “who’s, why’s, what’s, & how’s” of Habitat. You will have an opportunity to hear from other volunteers, homeowners, and staff and discover the full range of opportunities we have to offer. We’ll also collect the necessary paperwork we need from you so you can begin volunteering. We also suggest viewing the Volunteer Safety Training video if you are not familiar with work on a construction site.

As you begin volunteering with Habitat, we will do all we can to equip you, empower you, and encourage you to make your experience fulfilling and worthwhile. Our staff is here to serve you. We look forward to your participation with us!
