Arrive on site, chat with my site supervisor on the day's projects, and pull out tools from the shed.

Volunteers arrive. My site supervisor and I give a talk about Habitat's mission, safety, and what the volunteers will get up to that day. Everyone gets started!

Walk around the build site and help volunteers who are learning a new skill. No two days are the same. It could framing, drywall, insulation, painting - you name it!

Back to work! Volunteers decide to switch up tasks, so I help a small group get comfortable doing their new projects for the afternoon.

Quick break and chat with the volunteers. Getting to know volunteers and hearing their stories is my favorite part of the gig!
