VOLUNTEERS: Making a difference...

Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley controls homeowner costs by using a volunteer structure for all labor.  You can volunteer to help construct a Habitat home, to work on one of our committees, to help at our ReStore or to help in the office.  Use the links on the left to explore our volunteer opportunities.  The first step to volunteering is to attend one of our orientation meetings (see details to the right).   If you want additional information prior to attending the meeting,

• use this link to e-mail  Volunteer Coordinator, Connie Kitzinger

THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE AT THE ILLINOIS RAILWAY MUSEUM

Thomas makes his yearly visit to the Illinois Railway Museum this fall.  You can volunteer and help Northern Fox Valley raise funds, click here to go to our Events Page for details.

Construction Supervisors:

As we expand our build program, we need additional build site construction leaders.  Our site leaders must combine the skill and knowledge required to build a home with the ability to instruct our volunteers on construction basics.  We are in the final stages of planning and permitting; we hope to begin construction soon.  If you fit the blueprint, contact our office (847)836-1432 and ask to speak to either Barb or Bill.

CONSTRUCTION CREW LEADERS:

If you are semi-skilled in building, we need 2-3 volunteers at each site to work with and lead small groups of volunteers for build days.  You will be asked to participate twice a month for the duration of a build.  Great way to build you skills and  a future for a deserving partner family.  Call our office at (847) 836 9291, and ask for Barb or Bill fro details.

construction site support:

On our build day's we need a volunteer at each site to help with material management.  This person will work with our supervisors to insure material is on site to support our build.  They will monitor material usage and use our pick-up to replenish materials as needed during the day.   When not procuring materials they will participate in the build effort.
