Be Part of Our Community
It takes a community to build communities. The Habitat community is everyone who sees affordable housing in the New Orleans area as a priority in their lives.
Here’s how you can get involved.
Volunteer
You can help build homes! Join Habitat on the build site. Our construction team will teach you how to build, and you may have the opportunity to work alongside Habitat homebuyers. You can also volunteer in our ReStores, helping on the sales floor or loading and unloading donations.
AmeriCorps
The AmeriCorps program began in 1993 as a federal program designed to provide opportunities for year-long service to nonprofits around the country. After Hurricane Katrina, AmeriCorps members were a significant part of the long-term recovery efforts. New Orleans Habitat has several AmeriCorps positions yearly.
Advocacy Efforts
Tell your local, state, and federal government representatives to support affordable housing! Learn more about the Cost of Home program here.
Internships and Apprenticeships
New Orleans Habitat offers a 12-week paid internship and a 12-week paid apprenticeship program to teach construction skills to members of local communities and schools.
