Volunteer Now!

We welcome individuals and groups from faith communities, businesses, schools, and across the community to help build affordable housing for local families. Volunteer opportunities include construction, office support, community events, and helping at our ReStore.

Volunteers do more than give a day of service — they help families build stability, independence, and a place to call home. Every Habitat home is made possible through dedicated volunteers working side-by-side with future homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Anyone 14 and older may sign up to volunteer.

  • Are you retired looking for an opportunity to serve others on a weekly basis in the summer months? The Hammers Club is made up of dedicated retired/semi-retired individuals who come out during our work week to provide consistent support to our Construction Supervisor. Hammers Club members carpool to the job site from Durango or meet up at the job site. The Hammers Club works between May and October during each year’s build. No skills required…learn as you go!

    Are you already part of a group such as a book club or bible study group? Designate one day a week or once a month for your own Hammers Club Team!

    For inquiries or to sign up with the Hammers Club, please submit details through the Volunteer Inquiry form below.
