Please use this online system to register for volunteer opportunities and other events. 

Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco invites volunteers to build homes with limited-income families in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome to join us.

Getting Started:

Sign up for a volunteer event from the list of available opportunities. If the event says "full" or "reserved," we have met our volunteer needs and are no longer registering additional volunteers. We post opportunities about three weeks in advance, and additional opportunities are posted each week.

Attend your volunteer event.  Please refer to the email that you received upon registering to learn where to go, what to bring, etc.

Become a "Regular" and make an ongoing commitment to continue volunteering with us. As you become more skilled, you may choose to lead crews of other volunteers. Let the construction manager know!

Cancel your volunteer event if you will not be able to attend. That will allow another volunteer to fill your place, and our crew leaders will be able to plan for the correct number of volunteers. If you are experiencing difficulty cancelling your build day, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Bethany, at LVC1@habitatgsf.org .

Age Restriction: Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to volunteer on the construction site. Volunteers younger than 18 must have their parent sign a minor waiver form, which is available on our website.
