Everyone

Please go to VolunteerUp and register as a New User (top left hand corner on the calendar page, under Log In). Follow instructions and fill out your information—PLEASE INCLUDE EMAIL AND PHONE NUMBERS! This is the only way we can reach you! Please continue reading below….

Individuals

Haven’t volunteered with us before? You MUST sign up for a volunteer orientation before you come to the site. You can sign up on VolunteerUp. We have orientations every first Wednesday of the month and every third Saturday, at our office. There are also sometimes special orientations in other locations, but only by request from a group!

Return volunteer? You do not need to attend another orientation, you can go ahead and sign up for a work day. Even if the work day has a group listed, you are welcome to join us unless the workparty is full. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIGN UP IF WE HAVE REACHED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS, YOU MAY PUT YOURSELF ON A WAITLIST. You may also sign up for days that say “Sign Up!” or “Group Needed”. If it looks like the work day is restricted, “Amherst College” for example, please DO NOT SIGN UP!

Groups

Are you the group leader? If so, register for VolunteerUp, just like an individual. The group leader DOES need to attend an orientation. You can sign up for a work day that says either “Sign Up!” or “Need Group”. Please do not sign up for a day that says “Full”. If someone other than you is going to be there on the day of construction, you must send us an email at volunteer@pvhabitat.org and give us the appropriate contact information. Or, you can have that person sign up for the day. It is very important that we have information for someone who will be on site and who we can contact in advance.

Are you a group participant? If you are part of a group that has already signed up for a work day, please do not sign yourself up for the day individually.

PROBLEMS? QUESTIONS? Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at (413) 586-5430 or volunteer@pvhabitat.org.

PLEASE NOTE:
If you are not signed up on VOLUNTEER UP for a work party, we will not be letting you work.
