Groups

Working on a Habitat construction site or ReStore project is a great way to build a solid team, improve communication and develop strong bonds that will last long after the sun has set. Using our Standard Volunteer Event option, which does not require a donation, is a great way to make an impact on our community and strengthen the bonds of your team.  For an even stronger team building experience ask about our Sponsored Volunteer Event option.

Groups Making Lasting Connections in the Community 

We’re grateful for the support of civic groups, clubs, and organizations that are committed to providing affordable, environmentally sustainable housing in Butte County. 

No experience is required.  New volunteers receive coaching from more experienced volunteers and from Habitat staff. 

To schedule a build day with your group, contact Cory at coryb@buttehabitat.org or call 530-361-6705.

Group Leader

Your group will need to designate a Team Leader to ensure everyone has an exceptional volunteer experience. The Team Leader will help recruit your group of volunteers and will be Habitat’s primary contact for group communication.
