Groups of 10 or more people that would like to volunteer at a build site are to schedule their date through the Leeward Habitat office at 808-696-7882. To find out more about volunteering as a group and our Adopt-a-Day options please click here.

Plan to arrive at the Base Yard (87-249 Maipalaoa Road) prior to going to your scheduled work site. Click here for directions to the Base Yard. All volunteers should report to the Base Yard at 8:00 a.m. to meet the site supervisors and go over the agenda of the day. The Site Supervisor will also give a safety briefing and possibly assign smaller groups to do different tasks at each jobsite.

The workday is from 8:00am-4:00pm. Volunteers are asked to stay for at least 4 hours. If you can stay till 4:00pm, that’s even better! This way, more work can get done.

The first time you work, you will be asked to sign a waiver form and sign in sheet. All NEW volunteers are required to sign this form. Your waiver form is valid for the current year and you will only have to fill out one for each year. However, each time you volunteer at the build site you are required to sign the Sign-in Sheet. If you plan to volunteer on a regular basis, please contact the office and let them know.

Volunteers are recommended to wear long pants and sturdy shoes for safety. You will be walking among construction debris, tools, weeds, etc. Absolutely NO SLIPPERS! Also, wear a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun. Majority of our worksites have no shaded covering.

Each volunteer is asked to bring their own sack lunches for the build day. Water will be provided, however, all volunteers are encouraged to bring water, preferably personal water bottles.

If you bring your own tools you are asked to mark your tools with your name in an area that will not easily rub off. You will be responsible for your own tools, please make sure they are accounted for and taken with you at the end of each workday.
