Event Description

Woo hoo, our first Coastal Habitat for Humanity event is on the calendar! Join us for this private volunteering event that is JUST for the members of NJYP. Together we will be working build a home in Asbury Park. There will be 2 shifts and we need 30 volunteers in all so please register and spread the word about this great giving back opportunity.

Deposits:
Because they are relying on us we are asking that all volunteers put down a FULLY REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $10.22. The $10.22 will be returned to all who attend the event. Cancellations will be accepted up until noon on the day before the volunteering event.

Schedule:
We are going to break the workday up into 2 shifts. If you want to stay all day please sign up for both shifts by putting a deposit down twice.
Shift A 8:30am - 12pm
Shift B 12:30pm – 4pm

Who Should Attend:
Anyone who is 21-39 years old.

What to Bring:
* Your favorite hammer, saw, or other tool (not required).
* Dress appropriately for working outdoors and wear sturdy shoes, hats, and bring sunscreen/insect repellent. Work gloves and safety glasses are recommended, as is a cooler with water or other beverages and a bagged lunch/snack.

REQUIRED to Volunteer:
First time Coastal Habitat volunteers should go online to, www.coastalhabitat.org and under the GET INVOLVED link, they should Sign Up to Volunteer and note at the bottom of the form that they are part of the NJ YOUNG PROFESSIONALS group. Under that same link, they should print out, complete and turn in on the day of your event, the Medical Information and the Waiver of Liability forms.

Donations:
Habitat is asking that each individual volunteer bring a voluntary $100 contribution to help us offset construction expenses. It will be a tax deductible donation.
Don’t have $100? Ask each of your Facebook friends to donate $1 or find sponsors at work/home. $100 can be quick and easy to raise.

How to Find Us:
Let staff know you are volunteering with NJYP. We are the only volunteers schedule for that day.

Comment by Melanie Wische on September 23, 2010 at 4:18pm: I love H4H, but I can't make it.

Comment by Michelle V. on September 23, 2010 at 3:07pm: If I didn't already have plans, I would definitely do this. I've been on their volunteer list for a while now, but haven't actually been able to do anything with them yet.

Comment by Steve on September 22, 2010 at 8:27am: Would have loved to volunteer with Habitat, and the location is pretty close to me, but I have to work that day and can't get out of it...

Comment by Holly on August 31, 2010 at 9:42pm: Hi Laura,
I've always wanted to work with Habitat, and have looked in other states, but the travel expenses add up. I will be away on the 25th, but if another opportunity comes along, please let me know.
