(e.g. hearing, vision, severe allergies, fear of heights, or other challenges) This information will assist us in identifying an appropriate volunteer position for you.

SAFETY GEAR
Certified green-tagged steel-toed footwear, safety glasses and hard hats are MANDATORY on the Build 2008 site. In many cases heavy duty gloves will come in handy. Habitat Kingston has a fairly good selection of safety gear to loan to volunteers for the day, but cannot guarantee a perfect fit every time. Please bring your own safety gear if you have it.

All Habitat for Humanity volunteers must sign a
Release and Waiver Liability Form before commencing work. 
This form will be given to you when you arrive for your first scheduled shift.
