We really appreciate your interest in organizing a volunteer group to get involved with Atlanta Habitat. It is easy to get started by taking the following steps.

Step 1
Review the two opportunities described below, and identify the one that is the best fit for your group.

1. Become a House Sponsor
Every house built by Atlanta Habitat requires sponsorship support. House Sponsors provide the financial underwriting and volunteers for each house. 

House Sponsor opportunities range from $5,500 for a Team Build Project to $75,000 for a Full House Sponsorship. Larger group sizes (up to 35-40 volunteers per build day) and more frequent build dates (including the opportunity to start and complete an entire house) are available to House Sponsors. 

Find out how your group can become an Atlanta Habitat House Sponsor. 

2. Organize a Non-Sponsor Group
When House Sponsors are not able to provide all of the volunteers needed to complete a house, we supplement their numbers with smaller non-sponsor groups.

We schedule non-sponsor groups as needed for Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.  We can accommodate groups of 10-15 volunteers from 8:30am – 4pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and groups of 5-10 volunteers from 8am – 4pm on Saturdays. Non-sponsor groups are typically limited to one build day per quarter so this opportunity can be shared with as many different groups as possible.

The following information applies to both of these opportunities:

• Atlanta Habitat build sites are located throughout the City of Atlanta and Fulton County
• Volunteers receive direction and support from Atlanta Habitat construction staff and Volunteer Skilled Supervisors
• Atlanta Habitat provides all of the tools and materials needed for a build
• Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age
• Volunteers must sign a Release and Waiver of Liability form before working on a build site
• Volunteer groups are expected to either provide or help cover the cost of lunches
• Prior construction experience is not necessary to volunteer on a build site
