Group Volunteers

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity offers a unique way for a group of friends and family to come together and do something good for the community — all while learning new skills and having a great time.

Whether you are celebrating a big birthday milestone or looking for an activity for your college or faith group, friends or co-workers, Habitat for Humanity will create a fun and welcoming volunteer experience for everyone.

ReStore Group Volunteering

You don’t need to swing a hammer to support Habitat. ReStores are home improvement and retail outlets that support our mission and are instrumental to the work we do.  Volunteers at our ReStores work alongside staff: processing donations, organizing the store, metal recycling, assembling furniture, landscaping, and more! The ReStores helped divert over 8,000 tons of reusable material from the landfill last year AND raised over $600,000 to go back to our organization to support the building of our houses. 

Locations: Portland, Gresham, Beaverton, and Tigard 

Available days of the week: Tuesday to Saturday 

Timeframe: 10 am to 2 pm 

Group size: Up to 12 individuals 

Ages: 14 and older 

Construction Group Volunteering

Every helping hand on the construction site builds a stronger community for local families and individuals to flourish. From framing and raising walls, to carefully applying the last coat of paint, every task has a purpose. No experience is necessary to volunteer. Habitat’s skilled construction staff will guide you through all tasks, big or small. At the end of the day, you can look back on your progress and know your efforts are building strength and self-reliance through homeownership. Come build with us!  

Locations: Varies throughout the year depending on active build sites; we build in Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington counties 

Available days of the week: Wednesday to Friday; upon request for Saturdays 

Timeframe: 8:30 am to 3 pm

“Seeing the families that will own the home when you are done is a great feeling that stays with you and keeps you coming back to Habitat. I think the increase every year in participation is a testament to the satisfaction that we are getting from the team build experience.”  

– James Burnham, Travelers Insurance  

Playhouse Experience

Having a safe place to play is important for every child. That’s why the Playhouse Experience invites teams of volunteers to assemble and decorate children’s playhouses, which are then donated to families through partner nonprofits. All playhouses are built to be wheelchair accessible. Volunteers can show off their creativity by decorating each playhouse to fit the fun theme chosen by the recipient family, along with working together on tasks such as shingling the roof and attaching the playhouse trim. Your team’s Playhouse Experience donation not only gives children a space to call their own, it directly supports building more decent, affordable homes in the greater Portland metro region.  

Sponsorship Amount: $2,500 per playhouse (additional fee if the build takes place at a custom location)
