Groups
Working on a Habitat construction site is a great way to build a solid team, improve communication, and develop strong bonds that will last long after the sun has set.
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.

All Are WElcome
Habitat for Humanity of Butte County has an open-door policy
All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion.
As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
