How to Volunteer

We are currently in the process of identifying eligible clients and locating the resources needed to begin these projects. We anticipate to begin scheduling specific projects to begin in the next couple of weeks, pending funding. Most of the construction work will be interior restoration—flooring, drywall hanging and finishing, trim work, door hanging, electrical and plumbing, and some heating and cooling. 

As specific opportunities for volunteering are identified, they will be listed on this page. Additional volunteer opportunities will exist in construction, clean-up, fund raising, housing/feeding volunteers, and many other areas.

Because of the potentially dangerous conditions in the construction areas, DANI will follow the age guidelines used by the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate: under age 16--limited to clean-up roles; age 16-17--can work in a construction area, but may not use power tools or get on a roof; age 18 and above--no limitations. See the Volunteer Release form for more information.

To be sure you are contacted as projects develop, please submit the following form for each group. All individuals who volunteer will need to submit these two forms before arriving: Individual Intake Form and Volunteer Release Form. The forms can either be mailed to P.O Box 5281; Lafayette, IN 47903 or emailed as an attachment. An online form for the intake should soon be available here.

If you have additional questions, please contact Alan Welch, Director for DANI [(877) 773-0249].
