Individual Volunteering

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark

Through shelter, we empower. Let’s keep building!

With the help of volunteers like you, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark builds and repairs homes throughout the year, and we want your help–whatever your skill level is! Volunteers work on our construction sites across Newark and Essex, Hudson and Union Counties each week. You can sign up to help as much or as little as you want–the minimum commitment is just one day! Frequently asked questions about volunteering for Habitat of Greater Newark.

Volunteers on our projects paint, frame, insulate, sheetrock, install flooring, landscape, and more with the guidance of our construction foreman and site supervisor.
