Nothing is more important for Habitat for Humanity than the welfare of the people we work with every day—those in the communities where we work, our volunteers, and our employees.
In accordance with our foundational mission principles, Habitat for Humanity is committed to the highest ethical standards, has no tolerance for, and opposes all forms of discrimination, sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment. Our volunteers, staff members, and partners all must feel safe in order for us to truly join together to build a world where everyone has a decent place to call home.
All new volunteers are required to complete our safeguarding course before participating in active construction projects or administrative committees.
