"The statistics show that if you own a home, high school graduation rates are higher and overall quality of life is better. Each Habitat family has a postitive effect on the community and greater society."
Frank Monaghan, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia

Construction Volunteers

We welcome volunteers of all skill levels to join us as we transform lives and our city by building quality homes in partnership with families in need.

As a construction volunteer, you will have the opportunity to work in a variety of phases of home construction—from framing walls to landscaping, every job is integral to our mission. 

Volunteers work with our skilled construction staff Wednesday through Saturday, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.  We provide all training, tools and oversight to ensure that volunteers are successful and safe. 

All volunteers must be 16 years of age or older.  Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian complete and submit our Youth Waiver Addendum.
