You do not! We have trained staff and volunteers to help you through the many different tasks at the build site and in the ReStore. There will always be training and supervision available. We know you want to be as prepared and safe as possible, so we provide safety training classes you will need to complete before you volunteer. Here is a great video to watch to get you started: Safety Basics Video.

While we love our little builders, if a volunteer is under the age of 18 we need to assess the task and the age, and make sure we have enough supervision to be safe. They can also help out in the ReStore. There is a separate waiver to be signed by a parent/guardian for those those under 18. Please email us at [email protected], or call us at (208) 528-0298 with questions. All builders can watch this video to learn more about safety and what to expect at the build site: Safety Basics Video.

Please follow the guidelines below for appropriate volunteer attire, so you can have the safest experience possible.
• Closed toe and closed heel shoes
• Jeans or long pants - no shorts
• No tank tops
• The work can often be messy. Wear clothing you don't mind getting dirt or paint on.

You are not required to bring anything with you to volunteer at a build site, but you may want to bring:
• Bottled water - we will have some water onsite
• Snacks - if desired
• Sunscreen - highly recommended
• Hats - optional

If you have tools you prefer to use, you are more than welcome to bring those to the site with you. However, Habitat does provide all necessary tools and instructions onsite.
