Habitat for Humanity of Johnson County is a volunteer-driven organization. We welcome people from all walks of life to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with God and families in need.  By working side-by-side with the family who will live in the house, our volunteers experience for themselves the joy created when a family is able to realize its dream of home ownership.

Volunteer Opportunities

We currently have volunteer openings on the following committees:

  • Family Services Committee
