We are nearing the end of construction at our homes at 85 Sperry Lane in Lansing and 198 Clinton Ave. in Cortland.  We are continuing work in Homer and getting started on our Women Build house in Groton.  We can always use volunteers at our various sites, so if you’d like to help out, contact us at volunteer@tchabitat.com or 607-898-4148.  See you on site!

Directions to Barrows St:  Click here for Barrows St. location on map (*Parking instructions for Barrows St:  Please park on Lincoln Ave, E. South St., or in the Schara Auto or American Legion parking lots on Main Street.  All of these options are within a block or two of the site and this way we will avoid problems with the neighbors since Barrows St. is very narrow and parked cars can clog up the street.  Thank you for your understanding!)

Important things to remember when volunteering onsite:
-Bring a water bottle (we usually have water available on site, but just in case, it’s always good to have your own!)
-Wear closed-toe shoes–preferably sturdy work boots, if you have them.  You will not be able to work on site if you are wearing sandals, because it is not safe.
-Wear comfortable clothes that you can build in–and that might get a bit dirty, depending on the task!
-Be ready to learn some new skills–and have fun!!

VOLUNTEER OFF-SITE:
Many people think of construction when they think of Habitat, but that’s not all we do!  We’re always seeking help from local professionals for:
*Financial Services
* Real Estate Services (identifying buildable lots, selling and purchasing lots or homes)
* Resource Development and Fundraising
* Event Coordination
* Marketing and website design
* Legal Services

Additionally, Habitat for Humanity has a variety of all-volunteer committees who make our mission happen.  It’s our committee members who help us find lots to build on, identify partner families, raise money, connect with local churches, and coordinate construction.  Contact us if you’d like to learn more about becoming a part of one of our committees:
* Major Gifts
* Family Selection
* Family Support
* Faith Relations
* Construction
* Site Selection
* Women Build

VOLUNTEER GROUPS:
Volunteering is a great team builder!  We love having groups volunteer with us and would welcome your employees, friends, scouts, students or athletes on our job sites.  Contact our office to arrange a special group build day for your organization.

YOUTH VOLUNTEERS:
Habitat for Humanity is always looking to engage local youth in our mission and help teach them early on that affordable housing is important, and that they can help make a difference in our community.  Although volunteers under age 14 are not allowed on site, there are lots of other opportunities for youth to help Habitat.  Additionally, youth ages 14 and over can participate in construction – it’s never too early to learn!

WOMEN BUILD:
We now have an active Women Build program at our affiliate—and we’d love for you to join us!  You can learn new skills and have fun with some wonderful local women—all while making a positive change in your community!  Click here to visit the Women Build page for more information about how to get involved.
