Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell offers many opportunities for volunteers of all ages. While building and construction are important parts of the work that HFHGL does, a majority of the organization's work happens behind the scenes away from the raising of beams and hammering of nails. Fundraising, event planning, land acquisition, marketing and public relations, grantwriting, youth programs, etc. are all integral parts of HFHGL's mission of strengthening families through homeownership.
