No matter where you are in life or how much time you have available for volunteering, Chipola Area Habitat for Humanity has an opportunity for you!
Construction volunteers are involved with many aspects of building a Habitat home. At the build site, you might be engaged in tasks such as framing, roofing, hanging drywall, installing siding, doing finish work, or even landscaping.
We don’t ask our volunteers to bring anything except a great attitude and a willingness to be flexible. Chipola Area Habitat’s construction team will provide the training and tools needed to make a difference that you’ll see and feel at the end of the day.
Neighborhood, school and church groups of up to 12 volunteers are also welcome. No construction experience necessary! Register first and then sign up for a shift here.

Not all Habitat for Humanity volunteer opportunities involve swinging a hammer! Many of our volunteers spend their time helping at one of our Habitat ReStores. At our ReStores, we accept and sell to the public new and used building materials, tools, appliances, and home improvement supplies.
Proceeds from the ReStore help fund Chipola Area Habitat’s mission. This means volunteers are vital to ensure the ReStore remains a sustainable source of funding, allowing us to continue to serve more families in our community.
If you are interested in volunteering at the ReStore please contact Brenda Jordan, our volunteer coordinator, at 850-482-2187 or via email to officeassistant@chipolahabitat.org.
Volunteers seeking Bright Futures volunteer hours or Court Ordered Community Service hours are required to schedule an interview before beginning their volunteer service. Hours will be reported and a letter can be provided upon request at the completion of the volunteer hours. Contact Brenda to set up your interview: 850-482-2187 or via email to officeassistant@chipolahabitat.org.
All volunteers must complete an annual Volunteer Waiver of Liability. Minors ages 16-17 must bring a completed waiver signed by a parent/guardian prior to volunteering.
At Home and Around the World
Habitat may work around the corner from you, but we also work around the world. Through Habitat’s Global Village trips, you can volunteer abroad with us in nearly 30 nations. Our volunteer trips offer more than just the opportunity to swing a hammer. When you travel and volunteer with Global Village, you’ll experience the country like a local, with the locals. Meet people from around the world with all different kinds of backgrounds, races and religions. Spending time with other cultures doesn’t mean just exploring the differences, but also discovering the commonalities. You’ll find that you don’t even need to speak the language.

Committee Volunteer Opportunities
The volunteers who serve on our committees are integral to refining the process we follow, from ReStore operations to homeowner selection. They review the organization’s current policies and procedures, conducting systems analysis and suggesting improvements that increase capacity through improved efficiency.
Americorps Volunteering
Habitat for Humanity AmeriCorps members serve directly with Chipola Area Habitat for Humanity to increase capacity, working in partnership with families to help them apply for housing, helping the organization recruit and mobilize volunteers, and even helping build or renovate houses.
This hands-on experience provides an opportunity to develop new skills and gain confidence while serving a critical role. Best of all, you can get paid to serve!
