You do not need construction experience to work at the Wapiti Build Site, we will teach you what you need to know. You may be working inside or outside depending on the task, so please wear sturdy shoes, dress in layers, and bring a water bottle.

When you arrive to work, please check in at our Habitat office, which is in the building where Rib City Restaurant is located at 707 Wapiti Ct. Please enter the side door across from Taco Bell, go upstairs and to your left. Our construction team will get you started on a rewarding day of volunteer work. You will get to work alongside your colleagues in the real estate industry and make a difference in the lives of working families in Rifle.

If you would like to volunteer on an individual basis at the Wapiti Build Site, we work Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 3:30pm. We have Sweat Equity Saturdays on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month when most of our homebuyers volunteer. There are also volunteer opportunities at our ReStore in Glenwood Springs Monday through Saturday from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Please contact Carolyn Meadowcroft at 970-379-4880. carolynm@habitatroaringfork.org for more information.

We look forward to working with you. Thank you for your support of affordable housing in our community!

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Roaring Fork Valley
Habitat for Humanity of the Roaring Fork Valley partners with local families who otherwise would not be able to afford a home of their own, through conventional means. We build homes in partnership with local families in need of a hand-up, not a hand-out.  The wide gap between our high resort area cost of living (especially for housing) and the actual rural community wages makes it difficult to retain teachers, and essential personnel within our area- all who hold jobs that are key to the well being of our children and community, but cannot afford to live close to where they work. 

Our local Habitat has been building homes with lower income families for almost 20 years,  but we have become increasingly aware of the acute need for housing for the middle income workers who provide vital services to our community.  This is what brought about an extraordinary collaboration with the Roaring Fork School District, Pitkin County, and the Town of Basalt to build the Basalt Vista Housing Partnership- located behind Basalt High School- which provided 27 affordable homes.   Our current development is Wapiti Commons located in South Rifle.  We have started construction on 20 affordable homes consisting of  ten 3-bedroom townhomes and two  3-bedroom condos for families, and eight 1-bedroom condos for older adults or small families.  Our next development will be homes in Glenwood Springs so please watch for details on our website.

Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people who build more than houses. By bringing homeowners together with volunteers, donors, community leaders, foundations, and other supporters we are building stable families, safe neighborhoods, and caring communities.
