We’re excited to announce that we’re moving our volunteer scheduling from VolunteerUp to Better Impact! We hope this new software will improve the volunteer experience, and includes:

• Multiple ways to sign up and filter available shifts, including bulk options
• A personalized schedule of your shifts that you can view online, print, or sync to a calendar app
• Virtual training modules
• Simple ways to view your completed volunteer hours, and set goals for the future
• Easy access to update your profile information, volunteer interests, and more

We know that you’re busy, so we’ve created a detailed guide to help you get started with Better Impact, where you’ll learn how to create an account, complete an orientation and safety training, and sign up for your first volunteer shift. You can also access the Better Impact helpdesk for detailed information not covered in the guide.

PLEASE NOTE: all new accounts in Better Impact need to be manually approved by a staff person after they have completed a new volunteer orientation and construction safety training before construction shifts are visible. This approval process may take a few days.

We appreciate your feedback as we launch this new platform – feel free to reach out by email with questions or comments.

A majority of the work it takes to build a Habitat home is done by volunteers, both on-site and off-site, and we cannot thank you enough for standing with us and with families ready to own their first home. We hope to see you soon!
