What is a group?
Groups of three to 15 people (per shift) join together and spend the day learning more about one another while building a Habitat Omaha home.
What will we do?
The first morning of the build, participants arrive at the Habitat for Humanity Omaha office for a brief overview and safety orientation. Following this, the team is set for full day on the work site with their fellow employees and Habitat Omaha crew leaders.
What roles can team members play?
We ask each group to assign a main contact and site leader (construction knowledge if possible). Forming a planning committee is an ideal way to have a deeper connection for your employees. There are a number of opportunities available. They might include but are not limited to: volunteer recruitment, fundraising, arrangements, food and beverage, marketing and public relations, social network reporting. The Habitat Omaha staff is happy to assist you in structuring a committee for full potential.
What does the program cost?
A full house partnership is $100,000. The costs for partial partnerships range from $50,000 to $10,000. The marketing and volunteer opportunities increase with each level. Proceeds from your Corporate Team Build help cover the costs of land, construction materials, tools and supervision of work projects.
