Safety - Attend the Safety Orientation, adhere to safety protocols, use the tools equipment as instructed. Commitment - If you sign up, we re counting on you!

14 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What should I do when I arrive? Find the Volunteer Sign-In Station at the construction site. Checking in is your first priority when you arrive on the site. What if it rains? We may not work in a heavy rain or very wet conditions. If you are in doubt about weather, call our inclement weather hotline after 7: , select option 9 from the main phone menu. What should I bring? We will have all the necessary tools onsite, so you are not required to bring any tools with you. If you choose to bring your own (work gloves, hammer, tape measure, tool belt or nail apron, pencil) label any tools you bring with your name. We will have big coolers of water cups on site, but it is helpful to bring your own water bottle. You may also want to bring your own sunscreen bug spray. When is lunch? Please bring lunch (or plan for your group to provide it) a cooler, if needed. We ll break for lunch around 11:30am. You may leave the site for lunch, or have food delivered. If you have food delivered, please have it delivered no later than 11:15am. What is the bathroom situation? There are portable toilets (porta-potties) on every site. What is the minimum age for volunteers? Volunteers for Construction or Deconstruction must be at least 16 years old. Volunteers who are 16 or 17 must also have written parental consent. Child labor laws restrict Habitat from having volunteers under age 16 on a construction site. If a child comes on the site, such as during lunch, all construction must stop in order to ensure their safety. How many volunteers can work on one house at a time? It depends on what tasks we have scheduled for the day. Early in the build schedule we can take as many as 25 volunteers, but once we are done with the siding that number decreases to 15. Homeowners construction staff will also be on site, increasing the total number of people, so it is important not to exceed your reserved volunteer spots.. What should I wear? Wear good work shoes boots are best, sturdy sneakers are fine. No sals, thin canvas sneakers (Keds or Tom s for example) or opentoed shoes. Wear clothes that can get dirty you will get dirty. Bring a good hat. How should I prepare? It is extremely important to show up on time. Familiarize yourself with your route from your home or office to the site volunteer@habitatwake.org if you have questions about how to find the site. To familiarize yourself with basic safety job site expectations, please watch this Habitat Safety Video Do I need to have construction experience to volunteer? Nope! We will train you to safely complete all the tasks for the day. Safety is our highest concern. When you arrive, staff will provide a safety talk instructions on how to perform the tasks. If you feel uncomfortable with a task or tool, be sure to ask for help or ask to be re-assigned to a different task. We value quality over speed. Relax have fun! We are happy to teach you! We can have as many as 75 volunteers at our work sites, so it may take some time for staff to assign you a task. Please be patient with our process. 14

15 GIFTING GUIDELINES The greatest gift sponsors offer through their financial volunteer contributions to Habitat Wake is the opportunity for prospective homeowners to realize the dream of homeownership. We continue to affirm the value of a relationship in which the sponsor helps to empower the homeowner. Habitat provides a h up, not a h out. Partner families make a significant commitment that includes: PAYING an 0% mortgage for 20 years BUILDING for at least 250 sweat equity hours COMPLETING financial literacy homeownership classes Because Habitat homebuyer families commit to the same down payment, sweat equity mortgage agreements, they should be treated equally. The following guidelines are offered to minimize the inequities that could arise from variations in the number value of gifts provided by sponsors. The sponsor s primary gift to a family is the designated financial contribution /or volunteer labor they provide to build the home. Additional gifts to a specific family should be limited to house-warming presents valued at $ or less. Our understing of the law is that designated gifts cannot be deducted for tax purposes. If a sponsor chooses to make such gifts, it should be a direct arrangement with the family, HHWC cannot provide documentation that would suggest that a charitable gift has been made. Gifts of appliances, furniture, computers etc. should not be made directly to the partner family. Such items can, however, be donated to the Habitat ReStore where proceeds are used to build future homes. Any construction-related donations (labor, materials) offered by a sponsor should conform to Habitat s stard materials, house design, or construction schedule. If they do not, Habitat reserves the right to decline the donations, since they may delay construction of the home or substantially alter or complicate the design. All homeowner requests for changes to a house, including paint, flooring, design, construction, or materials, must be referred to Habitat s construction manager. Sponsors are asked to encourage families to locate access established community agencies or nonprofit organizations that meet their needs, rather than making monetary or other gifts to the family. Sponsors can offer their own organizational infrastructure for these purposes (e.g., outreach minister, human resources department) or contact Family Services to get referrals. If a family asks a sponsor for any goods or services, the sponsor should refer the family to Habitat s Family Services staff. 15
