Projects can include new builds, rehabs, home repair, and some occasional warehouse work.

Women Build

Our regular Women Build crew is comprised of women who dedicate much of their time to our Women Build project, but choose to work all year round where help is needed. They typically volunteer once a week on Thursdays. During the Women Build off-season, this crew’s projects include new builds, home repair, and occasional special event help.

Campus Chapters

Both of Habitat MidOhio’s campus chapters are student-led, student-initiated organizations. These chapters volunteer on site, advocate for affordable housing on campus, and help out at special events as needed.

• OSU: Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter at The Ohio State University works to reduce substandard housing by connecting OSU students to opportunities to raise funds, serve their community, and form friendships that support collective acts of altruism. Typically, the chapter volunteers both locally with Habitat MidOhio and with other Habitat affiliates during alternative break trips.
• Denison: The Habitat club at Denison volunteers once per month at the Newark Habitat ReStore, in addition to volunteering with other Habitat affiliates during alternative break trips. They have also hosted Playhouse Project builds on campus in recent years!

Habitat Young Professionals

Habitat Young Professionals (HYP) is a group of volunteers within Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio with the goal of engaging more young professionals (ages 21-40) in Habitat's mission. They regularly volunteer with Habitat on the second Thursday and fourth Wednesday of every month as an Evening Crew from 5:30pm to 8pm. They also host a variety of events to help their members gain leadership skills, network with other young professionals, and raise money for Habitat’s work!
