Interested individuals
are asked to visit our immediate needs/positions
available page to view current volunteer opportunities.
If any of these positions are of interest please contact the Volunteer
Coordinator to set up a time to meet.
At this time the volunteer
application form will be emailed to you to complete.
You will be required to bring the completed form to the interview.
All individuals (excluding build volunteers,
also know as crew members) interested in a current volunteer position are required
to participate in an interview.
The interview will highlight the position
description and detail the time commitment requirements.
This process will enable us to determine if this is the most appropriate
opportunity for you. The interviewer
will take into consideration the individual's skills, interest and time availability. We believe at HFH Halton all volunteer
opportunities must be mutually beneficial for all involved.
After successfully completing the interview process and any additional screening measures (position specific) all volunteers are required to attend the Volunteer Orientation and Safety Training Session. All sessions are held at 1800 Appleby Line Unit 10 Burlington, Ontario.
The first hour of the session will highlight our vision, mission and values; how we choose our partner families, the habitat home, volunteer guidelines, volunteer code of conduct, staff directory and facility tour.
The second hour of the session is our mandatory health and safety training; also referred to as SHE training (Safety, Health and Environment). Safety is first and foremost! We believe it is our priority and duty to provide a safe environment to our volunteers and the training needed to complete their work/assignments in the safest way possible.
After attending the volunteer orientation and safety training session placement will occur and additional training will be provided; on the job and job specific.
Please note ReStore and build volunteers must provide their own CSA approved footwear. This is a mandatory piece of personal protective equipment that must be worn on all build sites and in the ReStore at all times. .

ReNew It is a housing maintenance and repair initiative targeting existing low- income homeowners who do not have the disposable income required to make their homes safe, accessible and energy efficient.
If this opportunity is of interest please contact Deanna Smuk, Volunteer Coordinator, at 905-637-4446 ext. 223 or send an email to volunteer@habitathalton.ca to have your name placed on the 2009 build list.
