September 2022 • Huber Heights, OH

What I liked

Very easy to sign up to volunteer on their website. On-site, there was a supervisor from Habitat from Humanity to help guide and teach about the build process and skills.

What I wish was different

The task for the day build assistance was mentioned on their website so that volunteers could dress prepared/appropriately for that task ahead of time.

Advice

Learn about the house's residents (ask why they are building this house, what their experience has been so far watching the process of their new house being built, and what their new house means to them). To be informed about the Habitat for Humanity mission and residency program.
