Individual Volunteers
Volunteers are the engine that drives the Habitat for Humanity train. Volunteers play an integral role in accomplishing our mission to build homes, community and hope in Butte County.
We have volunteer opportunities in our ReStore, on our construction sites and various additional important roles. Whether you have a lot of skills to bring to the table or you are looking to develop new ones, we can use your help.
Get Started
Volunteering in Our ReStore: The ReStore offers more frequent opportunities and greater flexibility of schedule than our opportunities on the construction sites. The ReStore is a retail environment where we sell and accept donations of new and used building supplies and so much more. Opportunities can be scheduled Tuesday through Saturday, depending on availability.
Volunteer on Our Construction Sites: We accept volunteers on our construction sites with or without construction skills and background. Patient leadership and safety protocols ensure people of all skill levels can contribute. Volunteer opportunities on the construction sites are offered on the calendar in VolunteerUP and availability varies.
Habitat for Humanity of Butte County also offers many other important volunteer roles to explore.

As part of our ongoing commitment to zero tolerance for abuse and harassment of any kind, it is recommended that volunteers watch the following 10-minute video.
Habitat for Humanity International has no tolerance for sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment. Nothing is more important than the welfare of the people in the communities where we work, our volunteers, and our staff. Details can be found in our safeguarding policy.

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.
