About this Opportunity

Spokane Valley - Afternoon Shift (Wednesday - Saturday 12:30pm -4:30pm)

Habitat for Humanity-Spokane is welcoming volunteers to our build site in Spokane Valley, WA. As a volunteer, you and others will spend the day using sustainable and responsible practices to build homes that last. The home building process can include framing, drywall, insulation, siding, floor installation, painting, and more. No prior experience is necessary, and people of all abilities are encouraged to participate. All volunteers work under the instruction of the Habitat site construction supervisor. This is a construction project building incredibly energy-efficient homes for families in need of a safe and affordable place to call home. All houses Habitat for Humanity-Spokane builds are sold to qualified low to medium -income families through the Habitat Homeownership Program.
