Start Volunteering at Newton

Our Newton project is a 2-unit condominium at 76 Webster Park in West Newton. Download our fundraising pamphlet.

Please be aware that your site assignment is subject to change and you may be transferred to one of our other sites due to our current construction needs. If this occurs, we will inform you as early as possible.

There are four simple steps to start volunteering at one of our construction sites. If you have already volunteered with Habitat Greater Boston within the last three years, please skip to step 2. For those of you who want to find out more about other methods of volunteering, the orientation session is the best way to learn about those opportunities as well.

  1. Sign up for a mandatory, one-time only, volunteer orientation at our online orientation registration form. Please be patient as our orientation sessions fill up very quickly.
  2. Select a date from our Newton online calendar. Some days are reserved for individual volunteers and some are reserved for groups. Make sure that the day you want has available space left and occurs after your orientation date. Build days are very popular, so for now we're trying to restrict volunteers to one build day per month.
  3. Email: After you have found an available date for volunteering, send us the following information:
    • If you are an individual, email volunteers@habitatboston.org with your contact information (phone and email) and the date when you want to volunteer. Please make sure to write “Newton, Date” in the subject of your email (i.e. "Newton, 3/25/08"). You will receive an email back with a confirmation.
    • If you are a group, please complete a Newton Group Registration Form, making sure to include additional build dates just in case we receive several requests to build on the same day. Please fax the form to (617) 423-1044. A confirmation email will be sent to your group captain.
  4. Attend the orientation and get ready to build!
    In the meantime, if you would like to find out more information about volunteering with us, please download our volunteer manual.
