Help Cincinnati Habitat Build Dreams by Helping to
Launch a Restore!
Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity is organizing a ReStore Operating Committee that will oversee the management, launching, marketing, donation solicitation and ongoing operation of the ReStore. We are seeking volunteers with significant retail experience to assist Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity in this endeavor. If you have an entrepreneurial bent and would like to assist in this effort, please let us know.
We have a target opening of Spring, 2010. With that comes an extensive "to do" list. We need individuals who have a desire to commit themselves to the launch effort and to partner with us in its ultimate success. This is not just an oversight committee, but one where each participant is willing to accept specific assignments that will assist in the launch. Come join us as we develop this enterprise that will ultimately assist our mission of providing more affordable housing in the Greater Cincinnati area. If you would like to help, contact us at chfh@cincinnati-habitat.org. |

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Skilled Electrical Volunteers Needed: Cincinnati Habitat is seeking volunteers with home wiring skills. Work environment is an apprentice-like environment and volunteers should be willing to work one or two days a week during the summer and fall build season. Safety is a critical concern for the wiring group and no one other than the most experienced team members work with "live" wires. Initially when homes are roughed in, wiring begins: outlets are installed, wire "pulled" to all outlets and smoke alarms, circuit breaker box is mounted and connections completed. Then, when the home is near completion, the wiring team returns and installs lighting fixtures, plugs for outlets, and smoke alarms. It takes approximately 100 man hours to wire a traditional Habitat home and our growth requires additional electrical team support.
Expected time commitment would be one or two 30-minute walk-throughs per month. A training session will be held to familiarize volunteers with Cincinnati Habitat's requirements. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator (pdempster@cincinnati-habitat.org). |
