Orientation

Habitat for Humanity-Greater Columbus (HFHGC) invites anyone interested in volunteering to join us for a Volunteer Orientation. You will learn about Habitat for Humanity and tour our facility, including Habitat's ReStore (link to ReStore page), our retail store. By the end of the orientation, you will have a better concept of how and why Habitat for Humanity does what it does and how you can help in a variety of ways with our mission to eradicate substandard housing and create homeownership in the Greater Columbus area. Volunteer Orientations takes place at our office located at 3140 Westerville Road, south of Morse Road. We offer two sessions for your convenience (9:00 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.). Orientations last approximately 90 minutes. Pre-registration is required.

Volunteer Orientation Schedule

Registration starts 15 minutes before your session. Enjoy refreshments while watching a brief video about Habitat for Humanity International. A member of the HFHGC board will give you an introduction to our organization. Next, you will take a brief tour of Habitat's ReStore, followed by a brief presentation about Habitat's mission narrated by another board member. A panel of staff and volunteers will describe current volunteer needs and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and sign up for areas you would like to volunteer. At the conclusion, you will have the option to drive to a Habitat home. Please note: If the house is under construction,  you must have proper shoes on site; no slip-on or open-toe shoes are permitted.
