Are you a "people person" who enjoys helping others? Interested in a unique way to give back to your community or earn service hours for school? This could be the role for you! San Diego Habitat for Humanity is looking for energetic volunteers to help organize their ReStore, assist customers, and accept donations.
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a discount home improvement center that sells donated materials and home goods to help build homes in San Diego County. It also helps the environment by keeping TONS of usable goods out of landfills.
Opportunity Requirements & Important Notes
Time Commitment: Flexible based on volunteer availability - Volunteer when you can! The stores are open to volunteers from 8:30am - 4:00pm every Tuesday - Saturday. If you need to arrive late or leave early, simply sign-up for whichever shift(s) fits your schedule.
Onboarding Process: Register through VolunteerHub and then you can sign-up for any ReStore opportunity!
Physical Requirements: Must be able to stand for most of the shift. Ability to lift at least 10 lbs is a plus. Accommodations can be made for volunteers who cannot lift as much, but volunteers must be able to stand for most of the shift. Unfortunately the space where this project takes place is not wheelchair accessible.
Attire: You represent Habitat to the community when you volunteer, so please dress accordingly. Please wear clothes you are able to work in that you don't mind getting dirty. Closed-toe shoes are required - boots or sneakers are recommended. Shirts must have sleeves and must be free of any inappropriate writing or pictures. Pants are preferred but shorts are permitted. Shorts must not be too short, revealing/tight-fitting, or very loose/baggy.

Mission Statement
The mission of San Diego Habitat for Humanity is to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. This is achieved by creating affordable homeownership opportunities in partnership with families and individuals throughout San Diego County.
Description
We partner with families to help build or improve a place they can call home and to find the stability and security they need for a better future. Homeownership can seem like an unattainable dream here in San Diego, but we work alongside future homebuyers to make those dreams become reality. Our programs include:
New Construction - Money fundraised and mortgage payments from previous homes are used to purchase land, and we utilize thousands of volunteer hours to build homes. Homeowners go through a lengthy selection process and join volunteers onsite, contributing 250 hours of sweat equity per adult applicant as their down payment on their home.
Home Repair - We have 2 distinct home repair programs - Neighborhood Revitalization and VetRepair. Neighborhood Revitalization focuses on repairs for homeowners in the neighborhoods where we build new construction. Through VetRepair, we provide repairs for Veteran homeowners throughout San Diego County. Both programs include critical home repair projects (which may include major utility or roof repairs, which need to be subcontracted) or exterior home repair, which is much more volunteer friendly.
ReStore - The ReStore is our discount home improvement center where we accept donations of building materials and home goods. The sale of those items help to fund our mission. We have 3 locations throughout the county - National City, Kearny Mesa, and Escondido - in addition to an online store.
