• Faith Builds: Our faiths have some differences, but we come together knowing that we are more the same than different. We all believe in the same vision, a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
• Global Village: Opportunities for those who wish to work on Habitat's many national and global efforts. These include: advocacy, disaster relief, national and international volunteer trips.
• Group Volunteering (Construction): Team-Building days with Flower City Habitat for Humanity are one of the most fun, impactful, and fulfilling volunteer opportunities around. Not only do we build quality affordable homes, but we also build your team's network, sense of comradery, and more!
• Leaders Build: Through Flower City Habitat's annual Leaders Build Series, Rochester area business and community leaders get a chance to step "out of the board room" and onto the construction site.
• ReStore: Volunteers help our nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers to keep quality and usable items out of the landfill, and raise money for our mission.
• Students & Youth: Across the country, high school and college students partner with Habitat for Humanity by forming campus clubs and chapters that advocate, fundraise, and volunteer with local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Clubs and chapters plug into Habitat run activities as well as their own activities such as awareness activities on campus.
• Veterans Build: Focused on home ownership and repairs; training and employment; and volunteer engagement and continued service of community for U.S. veterans, military service members, and their families.
