Frequently Asked Questions

1. What volunteer opportunities are available?
   Our most common volunteer opportunity is to help on the build site.  Construction volunteers help with various tasks, including framing, roofing, drywall, painting, or siding.  We also look for individuals to volunteer to bring lunch to the construction volunteers on a build day.  For a description of these and other volunteer opportunities, please visit the Types of Volunteers section on our website.

   Yes, you need to sign up in advance to volunteer.  Please contact Eileen Wesener, Volunteer Coordinator, at 920-593-3921 or volunteer@greenbayhabitat.org to sign up for a specific build day.  Check out our calendar of Volunteer Opportunities on our website.  If you have never volunteered with us before, you will need to fill out a Volunteer Information Form and a Release and Waiver.
