Join the Pope Leo Village

Volunteer

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity’s mission brings people together to not only build homes, but to build communities, and hope. The homes sponsored by the Pope Leo Village campaign, like most of our homes, will be built with the help of volunteers. By working alongside homebuyers, staff, and other volunteers, participants build authentic connections and break down barriers that often divide our society.

The Pope Leo Village is YOU. Youth groups, faith communities, friends, neighbors joining side by side.

A special invitation to young people.

In a recent message to young people gathered in Chicago, Pope Leo encouraged the group to pay attention to the true longing within themselves towards a life serving others. Pope Leo says, “in that service to others we may find that coming together in friendship, building up community, we too can find true meaning in our lives.”

The words of Pope Leo align with the mission and spirit of Habitat for Humanity. The Pope Leo Village initiative offers an opportunity to inspire both Catholics and non-Catholics to participate in a meaningful experience serving others and participating in the meaningful act of building communities.

We invite individuals who are at least 16 years old to join us on site! There are lots of ways to get involved:

Gather a group to volunteer together.
Connect Habitat with your youth group, school service coordinator, or other youth-service focused group.
Ask friends and family to sponsor your volunteer day.
Volunteer on site and document your experience on social media.
