While the most visible volunteer role with habitat is in the building and construction of homes, volunteers are also needed in many aspects of the Habitat's efforts to provide affordable housing to more local families.

Your skills and interests no doubt match one or more of Habitat's needs. For example, listed below are Habitat's committees. All of these groups are made up of volunteers just like you, and we encourage you to make an inquiry or offer your help. Together, we make Nevada County a better place to live and work.
