1916 English St. New Home Construction Volunteer Session

At Charleston Habitat, we build more than homes. Through the power of homeowernship, we change lives. We believe that every hand can make a difference.

Habitat homes are built primarily with volunteer labor. No experience is necessary to build with us!
Interested in sponsoring a home? Or any volunteer related questions, please contact Kristen Williams, at Kristen@charlestonhabitat.org or (843) 203-4025.

Volunteer Details & Requirements:
All volunteers must complete an online Volunteer Application and Volunteer Waiver of Liability prior to volunteering (click on the individual links to access these forms). If registering as a group, please ensure each individual member is signing up, not just the group leader. Please note that if you are under 18, you must have a parent/guardian sign your volunteer waiver. You will still need to complete it online, but print out an extra copy, have your parent/guardian sign and bring with you to site when you volunteer.
Please plan on parking on the street by the lot or parking at 1915/1917 Token Street and walking the short 2 blocks over. If you are volunteering with a group, please carpool if possible. 
We provide water, sunscreen and bug spray on-site (volunteers can also bring their own). We also have a first aid kit.
We supply the necessary tools you'll need for the tasks assigned on-site; however, you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. We just ask that you make sure they are clearly labeled with your first and last name.
All volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes. Please wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and are appropriate for the weather that day!
