Who can volunteer?
A: We welcome everyone who believes in our vision! You can come as an individual who wants to lend a hand and meet new people, or with a group that wants to spend more time together. We have worked alongside corporations, schools, faith groups, families, students and everyone in between. Youth volunteers must be 16+ with volunteer waiver signed by parent/legal guardian.

Can I fulfill community service with Honolulu Habitat?
A: We’d be happy to work with you to help you complete community service hours. Upon registering for your first volunteer day, you’ll be prompted to answer several questions pertaining to your community service. We will review your answers and notify you of your approved community service.
