Book your Habitat Build Day and give your corporate team a unique opportunity to connect outside the office and spend the day on a Habitat build site, working together to help build Habitat homes alongside families in need of affordable housing. You can choose to build for a day, three days or an entire week. We’re flexible and have lots of build opportunities available year round.
- Engage employees in a meaningful, cost-effective experience.
- Provide a fun, interactive way for employees to connect outside the office and recharge while giving back.
- Align your company with a globally recognized charity.
- Energize and unify your workforce.
safety first!
Your team’s safety is our first priority. All participants are suited up with complete safety gear, trained and led through a variety of construction tasks, while working together with colleagues in a safe and fun environment. Learn about on-site safety requirements.
how it works
No construction experience required!
The team building starts when you arrive at a Habitat for Humanity build site.
Participants get the opportunity to learn new skills together, work in collaborative groups to complete building tasks and accomplish something meaningful for their community as a cohesive team.
community and faith groups
Whether building together, helping plan events or hosting your own community event, there are great opportunities for non-corporate community and faith groups to volunteer together and give back, by helping us build more homes for families.
