Current Build Locations

Listed below are our Current Build Sites. All volunteers must register with Volunteer Services or your sponsor group PRIOR to coming out on the site. This helps us manage our volunteers more efficiently and ensures a positive, safe experience for you. Please click on the volunteer link on our website to register on-line and then follow-up with a phone call to Volunteer Services at 336-275-4663 to confirm a date and site for beginning your volunteer experience with Habitat Greensboro. We work with volunteers at the job site on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Volunteers work at our sites on Community Houses and Sponsored Houses. A sponsor can consist of a business, organization, foundation, church, individual as well as one or more interested sponsors joining together. A sponsor can provide the financial backing and all of the volunteer labor to build the house in which case the use of community volunteers is very limited. In some cases a sponsor will choose to partner financially and use community volunteers for the building process. To find out more about becoming a sponsor, please click the Sponsors link on our home page or call Pat Arnett, Director of Development, at 336-232-0130.
