New Volunteer Orientations

It is important to us that volunteers understand the mission of Habitat for Humanity and become familiar with the basic construction safety before beginning to volunteer.  We require all volunteers to complete our New Volunteer orientation.  We currently hold 4 each month throughout Seattle and South King County.  Click here to check out our calendar of events to find out when the next volunteer orientation will be held.
