No experience necessary – our site supervisors provide all the on-site support and training needed. To register your group for a construction shift, follow the group registration instructions below.

ReStore (Groups Up to 7)

Groups can also volunteer at the Habitat of York County ReStore for a morning or afternoon volunteer shift. To schedule a shift, please contact Ben Gair at 803.985.9244 or bgair@yorkcountyhabitat.org.

Team Build Partnerships

A Team Build is a one-day construction experience for corporate teams of 10-25 people, working together on a new Habitat of York County house or home repair project. Together, your team will have fun, connect with their fellow colleagues in a truly meaningful way, and leave the build site proud of their accomplishments, their team, and their organization.

The suggested Team Build Partnership donation is $5,000. Partnerships, along with the donation of volunteers’ time, help offset the cost of labor and materials for a home.
