Volunteer
Interested in volunteering?
Midland County Habitat for Humanity welcomes volunteers of all ages, races, nationalities, religious affiliations and economic levels. Although liability concerns prevent us from allowing minors under the age of 14 on building sites during construction, they are welcome to help with non-construction related activities. Some tasks require licensed contractors or skilled volunteers. Other tasks can be learned on the job.
Watch the Volunter Orientation
Before volunteering with us, we ask that you watch the volunteer orientation to learn more about Midland County Habitat for Humanity and all the opportunities available.
Individual Volunteering
We build and repair homes throughout the year, and we want your help--whatever your skill level is! Volunteers work on our each week from Monday through Friday, 9:00am am to 4:00pm. You can sign up to help as much or as little as you want.
Group Volunteering
Bring your company, team, organization or school to Midland County Habitat for Humanity for a day of volunteering together and having fun—all while making an important contribution to Habitat’s mission of building homes in partnership with families in need. To schedule a team volunteer day, please contact Amanda King, Impact Manager, at king@midlandhabitat.org or 989.496.0900 ext. 24.
There are two ways for your group to volunteer:
1. Sponsoring a Team Build Day on our construction sites
Your group invests in Habitat's mission by sponsoring its Team Build Day through a tax-deductible financial donation. Your contribution helps Habitat cover the costs incurred by your team of 10 volunteers and pushes our affordable housing projects closer to completion.
2. Team Volunteering at the ReStore
Teams can volunteer at the Habitat ReStore without a financial donation (although donations are welcome). All ReStore revenue goes towards future homebuilding projects—which means that volunteering at the Restore directly helps us raise money to build more Habitat houses! Volunteers help process, organize and stock donations, and provide customer service to visitors.
Youth Volunteering

Job Site Safety
Safety is a priority for Midland County Habitat for Humanity. We recommend all volunteers helping at a construction site watch the "Volunteer On A Habitat for Humanity Job Site" slideshow on the Free Volunteer Safety Training Course page. Information to log in to the safety training can be found here.
Safeguarding Policy
We are creating a culture that is inclusive, safe and provides a meaningful volunteer, employment, and homeownership/repair experience. MCHFH expects all employees, volunteers, and homeowners/repair to behave in a way that reinforces the Christian mission and founding principles of the organization. MCHFH, therefore, prohibits any actions or conduct which may discriminate against or harass other employees, volunteers and families served. MCHFH does not tolerate any actions, words, jokes, or comments based on an individual’s gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnic background, age, religion, physical condition, or other legally protected characteristics. Any comments or actions, therefore, which demean or are hurtful to people of a certain gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnic background, age, religion, or certain physical condition are prohibited. Any such conduct may result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate discharge and or revocation of volunteers privileges.
