volunteer time
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitat Manitoba.
volunteer on a build site
Our Habitat homes are truly the homes that love built. They’re constructed almost entirely by caring volunteers, with the support of dedicated, skilled Habitat for Humanity Manitoba staff. It takes many caring hands to build a Habitat home. Whether you’re a contractor or have never picked up a hammer in your life, we can use your help!
We’ve missed you and we’re beyond excited to welcome you back for another incredible season of building homes, community and hope! I’m happy to share that the 2026 volunteer season will start on May 5th!
Registration is NOW OPEN!
Build Season: May 5 – October 30
