Volunteer application

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity Okanagan and the ReStore is a rich and meaningful experience. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with others who share similar values and to give back to the community in a way that directly impacts local families.

Volunteers are the life of our organization.  Together they have contributed their time, talents and enthusiasm for approximately 20,000 hours every year.

We have volunteer opportunities in our ReStores, Community Events, on our build sites, Kitchen Salvage Program, in the Habitat office, and international builds.

Groups and individuals welcome!

Please complete the application below to get started. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Courtney Clark, Volunteer Coordinator at 778.755.4346 extension 206 or email comms@hfhokanagan.ca.


Looking to give back and make a real impact in your community?

Volunteer at one of our 4 Okanagan ReStore locations. You’ll help keep reusable items out of landfills, support affordable housing, and be part of something bigger.

We need friendly faces to assist with:

  • Customer service

  • Merchandising and displays

  • Unloading donations

  • Light repairs and organizing

No experience needed. Just bring your energy and a few hours to spare.

You’ll meet great people, learn new skills, and know your time makes a difference.

 

We have just welcomed 12 families to their newly completed homes in Lake Country, and do not have an active build site now.  Our next anticipated date to be looking for build volunteers will be in 2027/28. 

Join us as a volunteer at Habitat Okanagan community events. You’ll help raise awareness, support affordable housing, and represent a cause that changes lives.

We need support with:

  • Event setup and takedown

  • Greeting guests and answering questions

  • Selling raffle tickets

  • Running booths or activities

Whether it’s a market, festival, or fundraiser — your presence helps us reach more people and grow our impact.

Want to make a bigger impact behind the scenes?

Our volunteer committees help shape the future of Habitat Okanagan. Right now, we’re looking for passionate people to join our Fundraising Committee.

Use your skills to:

  • Brainstorm creative fundraising ideas

  • Plan and support signature events

  • Build community and corporate partnerships

  • Help us reach more families in need of affordable housing

This is a great opportunity if you’re strategic, connected, or just excited to help grow our mission. Meetings are monthly, and your voice matters.

 

Looking for a powerful team experience that gives back?

Habitat Okanagan offers Team Build Days for groups who want to make a real difference — together.

Choose from:

  • Sponsored Team Builds: A paid experience for businesses looking to engage staff, build morale, and support affordable housing. Includes recognition, team lunch, team tshirts and impact reporting.

  • Community Team Builds: A free option for teams who want to give back, grow together, and directly help local families. Includes recognition.

No experience needed. We provide everything needed, and a meaningful day you won’t forget!
