Volunteer with Habitat Omaha
How do you want to help?
Habitat is about more than swinging a hammer. We rely on the dedication and generosity of our wonderful volunteers to further our mission. In order to build quality, affordable homes in partnership with local families, we have a diverse set of opportunities available for volunteers from all walks of life.
COVID-19 Update: Currently, we are not accepting volunteers.
We are grateful for our volunteers’ spirit and desire to serve even during these difficult times. We cannot wait to start accepting them back to our work as soon as it is safe to do so. Visit our COVID-19 Response and Updates page for more details.

Global Village Trips
COVID-19 Update: In response to the global pandemic, Habitat for Humanity International has suspended all Global Village builds through December 2020. This includes both trips we had planned in 2020. Do you love to travel but want to be more than a tourist? We invite you to join us on a Global Village trip where you will help build decent, affordable shelter in another country alongside members of the host community. A Global Village trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something truly meaningful, discover a new culture and new friends, and learn some new things about yourself, too. No construction experience is necessary. Find out about our upcoming trips by visiting the Global Village page. View Global Village opportunities now!
