| 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.
