Habitat for Humanity East Bay

Youth Volunteers

Safety is one of our greatest priorities, which is why volunteers must be at least 16 years old to work on our construction sites. But because we welcome everyone in our community to join us in our mission, regardless of age, we invite young supporters to contribute in other ways.

Please request our complimentary Youth Programs Kit, a how-to manual that contains games, fundraising ideas, and service learning activities, by emailing Volunteer@HabitatEB.org. Below is a sampling of ideas from the manual.

Join the Street Team

Get outside, pound the pavement, and meet your neighbors! We are seeking volunteers to help promote upcoming events by distributing flyers in businesses around town.

Prepare lunch or snacks for volunteers

Support Habitat East Bay by supporting our volunteers! A hot cup of coffee on a cold morning or a homemade cookie at the end of a long day might be the extra support a volunteer needs to succeed.

Host a fundraising or education event

Do you have a special talent? Host a dinner theater, music concert, or play at your school or congregation. Proceeds from ticket sales could help purchase a front door or a new roof for a Habitat house.

Collection Drives

Collect and recycle soda cans or BART Tiny Tickets to raise funds. Host a tool drive to collect used tools that are no longer put to use. Let us know that you’re interested in holding a collection to support our building efforts, and we’ll provide you with our current Wish List.
