Volunteer with us!
Within the mission and ministry of Habitat for Humanity there is a place for everyone to share their time, talents and treasure. Some volunteers pound nails or use a paintbrush, others participate in family selection or work in our ReStores. Each person is vital to our mission of eliminating poverty housing in Collier County.

Construction
Whether you like to raise walls, hang siding, paint, or learn something new, we’re always looking for extra hands on the job site. Volunteer opportunities are currently available in both Naples and Immokalee.
ReStores
From greeting and working with customers on the sales floor and arranging merchandise to preparing donated items for sale and even helping with building maintenance, there are positions available for everyone.
Office & More
Volunteers with special skills are a big help in our mission. Many lend a hand with filing and data entry, others lead pre-purchase courses, and some become ESL tutors. Call or email to ask about these roles.
Construction: The Basics
All are welcome and no experience is required to lend a hand on our job sites. Traditionally, we separate our job site volunteers and construction staff into three groups: Framers, Siders and Painters.
FRAMERS
Framers frame homes and handle preliminary pieces of construction and heavy lifting as walls go up. This is the most intense physical labor on the job site.
SIDERS
Siders put up siding and soffits, blue boards and install windows. This is a moderate -level role that covers all tasks between the beginning and end phases of building.
PAINTERS
Painters paint exterior trim and interior walls and tackle finish tasks like caulking and laying vinyl floor tiles. This is the lightest physical work on the job site.
But What Do I Wear?
Do what’s comfortable for you— whether that’s shorts and sneakers or jeans and steel-toed boots. We just ask that you wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
Pro-tips
- Don’t leave home without it: sunscreen and bug spray could make or break your volunteer day!
- Accessorize: think hats, bandanas, and sunglasses.
- Check the weather: Will it rain? How hot will it be?
