Construction Calendar

[ LOG IN | view my scheduled dates | view volunteer opportunities by project ]

Please view the calendar below for available volunteer dates.  Once you have registered, you will be able to schedule yourself.  
*Reminder: volunteers must commit to at least one full day.

ALL CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES ARE FULL THROUGH AUGUST 29TH.


How To Read the Calendar
Each date has one or more colored boxes in it.  

  • Color: Corresponds to the type of project.  The Rebuilding Projects are community tasks, while Habitat Home Build Projects consist of the construction of new homes.  
  • GRP/IND: Click the box that says GRP if you are signing up as a group; IND if you are signing up as an individual.
  • Number: Available spots remaining for that particular project.  If there is no box for a particular day then we will not be working that day, or the day has been overbooked.  If the box has an F instead of a number, that means we are full for that day.
  • Viewing: There is a task bar below the Legend that will allow you to view the calendar for future months.

    About Projects
    Fall 2007 and Spring/Summer Groups:  Construction of new Habitat homes.  Tuesday-Saturday, 7:45am-3:15pm.  This project includes these sites: Musicians' Village, Westbank, St. Bernard Parish and others.  When you sign up for one of these, you will be manually assigned to a construction site and receive your placement one week prior to your work date.  The needs of our construction sites vary so we place volunteers where they are most needed.  If you are scheduling yourself less than 2 weeks prior to your work date, please contact us personally for a confirmation.
    Community Projects (Non-Construction) (previously titled Parish Recovery Effort): Community Service Projects with organizations in the area.  Monday-Friday, 8:00am-3:45pm.  This project includes involvement within the St. Bernard Parish community, including (but not limited to): Rehabilitation of homes and buildings, phone bank project, cleaning parks, art projects and reading programs in the schools, working with the food bank, etc.  The project that you will be involved with may not be determined until shortly before your work date or on the morning of your work date.  We send volunteers where they are most needed.  All volunteers will meet at the front Desk of our Camp Hope (1201 Bayou Road, St. Bernard) and will be assigned from there.  
    ReStore Assistance (Non-Construction): Habitat ReStore is a home furnishing store that provides our homeowners and the community with affordable furniture and home supplies.  Wednesday-Saturday, 9:00am-5:00pm (however, please arrive at 9:30am).
    *For more information about the different projects, please visit Construction Projects.

    Holidays
    Habitat for Humanity encourages their staff to spend the holidays with their families.  Our construction sites will be closed for the following dates.

    * January 28-February 2 will also be limited, as Mardi Gras festivities also occur during this week.

    Spring Break
    There is only one day (March 22) for Habitat Home Build volunteer spots open for March 2008, because it is a very popular time period (especially for our college volunteers).  

    Sign Up!
    Once you have clicked on a particular box, you will be prompted to "Sign Up."  Once you have signed up, you will receive a confirmation that you are registered for that date.  Two weeks prior to your work date, you will receive a construction site assignment.

    How To Cancel
