What to Expect on a Habitat Worksite:
We love hosting volunteers and teaching people new skills! If you’ve never used power tools or worked on a construction site, fear not! As a volunteer, you will work alongside a skilled construction team and future Habitat homeowners as we work toward our vision of ensuring that everyone has a decent place to live. We provide on-the-job training along with all required tools and safety equipment. Volunteering is an amazing way to learn new things, meet new people, AND give back to your community!
HOURS: Teton Habitat builds with volunteers every Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 8:45 AM to 4:30 PM.
LOCATION: We are currently building at 445 E Kelly, Jackson, WY 83001
LUNCH: We take a one hour lunch break from noon to 1 pm. Please pack a lunch or make plans for your meal. There is currently not an indoor space to eat lunch on the construction site.
EXPERIENCE: No experience is necessary. We have the tools and training you need for the task on hand.
