Safety is our first concern. Our insurance requires that we restrict the activities of volunteers under the age of 18. Below are the highlights of our age policy

• Under 14: Not allowed on work site while construction is in progress.
• 14 - 15: Can do limited work, such as landscaping and painting, if this type of work is available. They may also assist with items in our Home Improvement Store. Parent/Guardian must sign waiver before youth can start. Groups of volunteers in this age range must provide adult supervision.
• 16 - 17: Can participate in construction work, but cannot use power tools, do excavation or demolition, or work on rooftops. Parent/Guardian must sign waiver before youth can start. Groups of volunteers in this age range must provide adult supervision.
• 18+: No restrictions.

Home Improvement Store
Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to volunteer at the store.

Special Events
Depending on the nature of the event, youth (10+) may be able to help with these opportunities. Click here to see what events we have coming up.

Saturday Work Group Lunches:
Groups may decide to prepare and deliver lunch to Saturday work groups. This is a great opportunity for young kids who are not old enough to build. If you have a group interested in providing lunches, please contact Adriane at adriane@hfhwv.org or 623.583.2417.

Volunteering with HFHWV

We provide a unique volunteer experience for people of all ages, races, religions and abilities. HFHWV brings together individuals and groups from faith institutions, corporations, educational, and the community to work to ensure that West Valley residents have a decent, affordable home.

We give volunteers an opportunity to not only make a difference with a day’s work, but also make a connection with a family moving towards stability, entitlement, and homeownership. Our homes are made possible through the labor of our dedicated volunteers working side by side with our homeowner families.
