Construction

Middlesex Habitat For Humanity Of CT, Inc. offers volunteer opportunities for you to help with all aspects of home building.  You do not need to be an expert in construction to help out on a work site. There are many tasks that require only a willingness to learn and work with others.  If you do have special construction skills, you may want to consider becoming a Crew leader or Site Supervisor.  All volunteers on the construction site must be at least 16 years of age.  Sixteen and seventeen year-olds may work but must have one adult supervisor per four teenagers.
