Habitat For Humanity Of Howard County is a volunteer-driven organization. We welcome people from all walks of life to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with God and families in need. Though the vast majority have no construction experience or building skills, volunteers are involved in most phases of construction. By working side-by-side with the family who will live in the house, our volunteers experience for themselves the joy created when a family is able to realize their dream of home ownership.

Habitat volunteers contribute more than muscle. Creativity, strategy, and technical skills are among the many invaluable traits volunteers bring to the organization. With a minimal staff, Habitat For Humanity Of Howard County depends upon volunteer committees for support with projects like Special Event planning, Marketing/Public Relations, Development/Fund Raising, Family Selection, Family Support, Construction Skills Training, and Volunteer Services.

We invite volunteers to help us build, assist in the office, serve on committees, and help with special projects that benefit the organization. Time commitments vary; some volunteers dedicate a few days of the week to Habitat For Humanity Of Howard County and others spend just a few hours each month working on projects. As a volunteer for Habitat For Humanity Of Howard County, you can choose to volunteer as little or as often as you would like. All of these positions are a tremendous help that directly or indirectly result in the construction of simple, decent homes.
