Volunteer
HabiJax is a volunteer-driven organization. Community volunteers play an essential role in our mission of eliminating substandard housing in Jacksonville. Volunteers can help in a variety of ways, both on the construction site and in non-construction capacities.
To Volunteer in Construction or at the ReStore
All volunteers must register and schedule online prior to volunteering.
Visit the Volunteer Calendar and click any "Sign Up" button to schedule your volunteer day. If you have not registered before, it will ask you to complete the volunteer registration. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to work on a construction site, and 15 years old to work in the ReStore.
Groups
Community Service (ReStore Only)
For court ordered community service, please contact the Volunteer Services Department at (904) 208-6674 to confirm approval before registering. Individuals with drug-related, violent, or theft offenses are not accepted. The Volunteer Services team will complete your paperwork or present you with a letter at the completion of your community service hours.
Volunteer Pledge Campaign
All volunteers are encouraged to participate in our Volunteer Pledge Campaign to further their support for HabiJax. Similar to the Walk-a-thon concept, volunteers can collect pledges from friends and family prior to their volunteer hours, and bring the pledges with them to donate on their volunteer day. Instead of walking, volunteers will be collecting the pledges for building with HabiJax. This is a great way for volunteers to spread the word about their volunteer activities and to get others involved who may not be able to volunteer. Any volunteer, whether they are with a group or coming on their own, can download the forms and participate in this campaign to raise funds for home building.
Volunteer Recognition
HabiJax wants our volunteers to know how much we appreciate them. A Volunteer Appreciation Banquet is held annually each February to honor the volunteers who worked with us the previous calendar year. All regular volunteers are invited as well as any construction or ReStore volunteer who contributed 40 or more hours during the year. An invitation is also extended to the leaders of our sponsor volunteer groups.
