    Description

    Description

    Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver is seeking volunteers to support Home Repair projects across the Metro Denver area and in Commerce City. These short‑term, exterior-focused projects help homeowners safely remain in their homes while strengthening neighborhoods and building community.

    Home Repair volunteer opportunities take place at different sites and addresses, involve smaller groups of volunteers, and are typically shorter projects than traditional construction builds. Projects may include light exterior repairs, yard cleanup, painting, weatherization support, and other tasks that improve safety and curb appeal.

    No construction experience is required—just a willingness to help, work as a team, and make a meaningful impact.

    Responsibilities

    • Support exterior home repair projects such as painting, cleanup, minor repairs, and weather‑readiness tasks
    • Work alongside Habitat staff, skilled volunteers, and fellow community members
    • Follow safety guidelines and instructions provided on site
    • Serve as a positive ambassador for Habitat’s mission and values

    Qualifications

    • Ability to work outdoors and perform light to moderate physical activity
    • Comfortable using basic hand tools (training provided as needed)
    • Ability to stand, bend, and lift light materials
    • Willingness to work as part of a small team

    Time Commitment

    • Projects are typically half‑day or one‑day opportunities
    • Dates, times, and locations vary based on homeowner needs

    Location

    • Multiple home repair sites across the Metro Denver area
    • Specific addresses will be provided after registration

    Why It Matters
