"What if everyone in Lake and Geauga County had a safe, healthy, and affordable place to call home?"
Build Your Team While Building
Homes, Hope & Communities
Team Builds with Lake-Geauga Habitat for Humanity provide a unique, fun and rewarding experience for any group. No previous construction skills are needed and Habitat will provide the tools and training you need for success.
During a day on the job site, your team may work alongside a future Habitat homeowner to help them build their home. Group construction tasks offer great opportunities to strengthen workplace skills.
Your workday will help your team:
-
Build and strengthen relationships
-
Create memories
-
Improve communication
-
Build trust
-
Develop leadership skills
-
Demonstrate your organization’s commitment to community building
-
Foster goodwill by helping others
By participating in a Team Build, your team will play an important role in helping to strengthening our community, and build a brighter future for a local family.
