Corporate Volunteer Groups

it develops teamwork
and people skills

Volunteer groups with companies across the First Coast do so much for HabiJax homeowners. A backbone of the volunteer power that builds safe and affordable homes in our community, companies also step up and contribute financially in ways that keep HabiJax serving more families, even as material costs have risen.

And, with so many groups returning year after year, we know that the Habitat for Humanity volunteer experience does so much for companies! Co-workers can get out of cubicles or remote work environments and sling paint side-by-side. Teamwork skills are honed, and the camaraderie developed on build day keeps on paying dividends for employee job satisfaction and productivity.

Learn more about the ways you can volunteer and the great benefits of volunteering in our Corporate Volunteer Group Guide, which you can download using the form below. Keep scrolling, and you will find our Group Interest Form, quick to fill out and the starting point for all volunteer groups. We are eager to hear from you!

All volunteers must sign a waiver before participating. The waiver will be available online after registration, or sent via email to print and bring with you on your scheduled day. Minors (16 – 18) will need a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Volunteers help with all aspects of our mission! The following list is an example of typical tasks and may include other duties as needed.

Many teams are stepping up to participate in our Community Partner Program, contributing to our two greatest needs at HabiJax: financial and volunteer resources. Learn more about the benefits >
