Want to volunteer with HFHV, but can’t make Saturday builds?
There are numerous other ways you can get involved with Habitat
Victoria – committees, special projects, and board membership to name a few.
Committees
Habitat for Humanity Victoria relies upon volunteer committees to assist with
much of the operational functions of the organization. Committees bring new
ideas and keep paid staffing at a minimum, allowing for more organizational resources
to be devoted to building affordable homes.
The following are Standing HFHV Committees and Teams each welcomes new volunteers with
interest and skills in these areas:
| Public Relations Committee |

This committee shall be responsible for preparation, collection and dissemination of
information and materials pertaining to HFHV.

Co-Chairs: Myra Starkey, Jolynn Young |
|
This team shall be responsible for coordinating the raising of funds to conduct the
business of the corporation. The tasks to be coordinated by this committee shall
include the Annual Fund Campaigns, grant proposal writing, special events, and cultivation
of individual major donors. The committee shall emphasize and promote the importance of
Christian stewardship in the servicing of donors and supporters.

Special Project
Throughout the year there are special projects that Habitat for Humanity Victoria undertakes,
which increase our need for volunteers. Special events such as the First Victoria National
Bank fishing tournament, our signature “2007 House Party” event and our Habitat Home Celebration
volunteer recognition event all require extra man hours.
If you are interested in working on these types of projects, which have very specific job
descriptions and timelines, please contact Leslie Ruta, our Resource Development Manager.
Leslie@victoriahabitat.org.
Board Membership
If you have contributed to Habitat financially or as a volunteer regularly during the years,
you may be ready to step into a different type of leadership role with the affiliate.
Board members contribute a minimum of 5 – 7 hours per month, depending on committee assignment,
contribute financially to the organization and commit to attend at least ten of twelve monthly
board meetings each fiscal year.
The Nominating Committee presents potential board member nominations in June. If you are
interested in serving in this capacity, please contact Cynthia Staley, Executive Director.
