Want to Join Baylor Habitat?
- Weekly meetings are held every Wednesday from 6 to 7 PM in Miller Chapel (which is inside Tidwell Bible Building). Members are required to attend at least 7 meetings during the semester. Everyone is welcome!
- To become a member, we require that you complete a total of 9 work hours during the semester. 7 of these are "external" hours, and typically involve working at a Habitat house worksite. The other two hours are "internal", and can be gotten by, e.g., taking pictures at worksite, donating cans for recycling, or working at Habitat fundraisers. The on-site workdays and other work opportunities are flexible, and we try to accommodate a variety of schedules.
- Dues are $20 for the semester and t-shirts are $10. If you pay $40 for a full year’s membership, you get a free t-shirt!
FAQs
-
Do I have to have a car?
No. We typically have people willing to carpool to the work sites. However... we seem to have fewer people with cars this semester than normal. So if you do have a car, we would love it if you could help out.
-
It's a month into the semester. Can I still join?
We usually accept new members up until the 5th or 6th meeting from the end of the semester.
-
There aren't seven meetings left in the semester. What now?
Why did you wait so long? We might be able to work with you. Come talk to us after a meeting or drop us an email.
-
I'd like to join, but I'm busy Wednesday nights, and can't make it to the meetings. What should I do?
Drop us an email - we can probably work something out.
-
I have absolutely no construction experience. Can I still join?
Yes! In fact, most of our members have no prior construction experience before they join.
-
But... when I pick up a hammer, it's regarded as a harbinger of mass chaos!
Don't worry. We have non-construction volunteer opportunities, too.
