OUR MISSION: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh is dedicated to creating opportunities for decent, affordable housing in partnership with families in need. Reaching across religious, cultural, and racial boundaries, we seek to rebuild a sense of community with the common goal of strong neighborhoods and dignity through homeownership.
THE BASICS:
Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome! Every job is important. No matter where your talents lie, you can help us in our mission to build safe, decent, affordable homes.
Regular work days are Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:00AM to 1:00PM. However, sites are active Tuesday through Saturday- check listings to see which sites are open on any given day.
We work rain or shine (or snow), so check the forecast and dress appropriately. In the very rare case of a weather cancellation, we will email notification to everyone who is signed up.

- First, sign in (click the sign in button in the upper right hand corner of this page and follow directions).
- Once you have signed in, scroll down to look at all of our volunteering opportunities, listed by date. Click on the name of the site to see a map of its location and to see what the work for the day will be.

GROUPS:
Groups of 5 or more must call the office (845) 568-6035 to schedule their volunteering. Work days and hours other than the usual Wednesdays and Saturdays can be arranged for groups of 5 or more. Forms for groups can be found on our website here: http://www.habitatnewburgh.org/pp-gen/forms.htm
YOUTH:
All on-site volunteers must be 16-years-of-age or older. Volunteers ages 16-18 must have a signed parental waiver and must volunteer with a parent or guardian ON-SITE throughout the workday. Waiver Forms can be printed from our website: http://www.habitatnewburgh.org/pp-gen/forms.htm
COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS:
Any volunteer who needs to record community service hours must print out the “Community Service Tracking Form,” available on our website at http://www.habitatnewburgh.org/pp-gen/forms.htm This is the only form that can be used as proof of hours- the Habitat offices do not keep records of these hours. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to sign-in every day, introduce themselves to the House Captain, and get the form initialed by the House Captain or the Assistant Construction Manager each week.
NON-CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES:
We have various non-construction volunteering opportunities available including serving on one of our committees (see descriptions of our committees here http://www.habitatnewburgh.org/pp-gen/committees.htm), organizing materials at the Kimball Building, helping in the office, or volunteering at special events. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, call our office, (845) 568-6035.
RESTORE:
If you are interested in working at the ReStore, you must complete an orientation and training session (held the third Thursday of each month) prior to beginning there. Once you have attended one of these sessions, you can sign up to volunteer at the Restore on Volunteer Hub. Call (845) 565-1789 to sign up for a training session or if you have any questions about the ReStore.
