Volunteerism

 If you would like practical experience to help you decide if the construction trade is the career for you, volunteer construction opportunities are an excellent way to investigate the industry.  In addition, volunteer activities enhance your college and employment applications and provide you the opportunity to fully participate in your community. 

 Habitat for Humanity chapters exist throughout the state and nation. They are always looking for volunteers!

 Additionally, local community construction opportunities can be found by looking in the local newspapers and contacting community centers and faith-based organizations.
