Our International Volunteering Programme is an amazing opportunity to work alongside families in need of a decent place to call home.

Our Global Village volunteering programme invites you to join volunteers from around Ireland in fighting poverty housing.

Application process steps:

(2) Apply today here or by clicking on the orange “Apply now” button below.

(3) A member of Habitat for Humanity Ireland will call you to arrange an informal interview.

(4) Once you are accepted onto the team, you will pay a €250 deposit, receive an orientation book, begin fundraising, and attend team meetings. You can pay your deposit here.

No construction skills are necessary to volunteer! There will be a skilled supervisor on site to teach you everything you need to know.
