Opportunities From: City of Bloomington Volunteer Network

Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County is about to welcome a new cohort of Future Home Owners and we are looking for community members to volunteer as Future Homeowner Education Instructors and/or Budget Partners.

The education program is designed to best prepare first-time homeowners, and instructors will cover defined topics related to money management and financial literacy, home maintenance and neighborhood development, and communicating in the professional world.

In addition to instructors, Habitat is looking to recruit Budget Partners. Partners do not need to be financial experts; they will serve as a coach and supporters to their assigned family/families while they are in the homeownership program (with a focus on helping them maintain their budget and personal finances).

For more information, please visit the “news” tab on our website or email our Homeowner Services Director hs@monroecountyhabitat.org.

Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer-driven organization. We welcome people from all walks of life to join us as we build affordable, sustainable homes in partnership with local families.

Never used a hammer? Never used a power tool? That is OK, because there is no prior experience necessary to volunteer with Habitat. Our dedicated Crew Leaders will teach you and work alongside you throughout your shift. If you have experience in construction or carpentry, we need you too! We would love to have your knowledge on site.

Volunteers are invited to build with us on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (or 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, depending on the time of year). Each shift will vary based on the tasks planned for that day. This is an opportunity to get outside, work alongside a neighbor in your community, and gain some hands-on construction experience in the process!

You can find available individual construction shifts on our public volunteer calendar (HERE). To sign up, you’ll need to register through our Civic Champs app.

If you would like to sign up a group of up to 20, please reach out to our Engagement Team at ec@monroecountyhabitat.org. We would be happy to schedule you for a day that can accommodate your whole group and match your needs.
