Frequently Asked Questions

New Volunteers

  • I want to volunteer! How do I get involved?
    • Great! The first step is to complete New Volunteer Orientation, which is offered about once per quarter. If there isn't an Orientation session currently scheduled, we encourage you to sign up for the Wait List HERE - the Wait List is notified as soon as a new session is confirmed. At Orientation, you'll learn what Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis does, how we do it, and how you can offer your skills and time to making it happen.
  • What are the requirements for volunteers?
    • Our only requirements are that you attend New Volunteer Orientation, be over 16 years of age with an adult chaperone or over 18 without an adult chaperone, and that you arrive ready to help out! You'll learn more about both Build Site and ReStore volunteer opportunity requirements during Orientation.
  • What if I'm under 16?
    • We don't currently have any volunteer opportunities for volunteers who are under 16 due to our insurance limitations, but we are always looking for more ways for volunteers to get involved so check back again in the future!
  • Do I need to complete New Volunteer Orientation to help at the ReStore?
    • No! ReStore volunteer opportunities are the ONLY volunteer opportunities at Habitat Saint Louis that do not require Orientation.
  • Can I do court-ordered community services hours at Habitat Saint Louis?
    • Yes, but you must first complete our court-ordered community service screening. We will not validate hours for volunteers who have not gone through screening. You can find more information HERE and HERE.
  • Help! I'm getting an error when trying to create my account.

Current Volunteers

  • How do I remove myself from a volunteer opportunity that I signed up for?
    • Log in to your account, go to the "My Profile" tab, find the project under "Upcoming Opportunities," and then click "Remove Me."
  • What happens if I don't show up for my scheduled volunteer opportunity?
    • We understand that life happens and plans change, but volunteers who no-show for 2 or more opportunities without communicating ahead of time will be removed from future opportunities and may not be invited back.

Group Volunteers

  • I'm interested in group volunteer opportunities. Who should I get in touch with?
