Habitat
while improving team skills.
Knoxville Habitat for Humanity’s team building opportunities provide dynamic, fun and meaningful construction experiences for corporate partners and civic or church groups. In turn, your financial contribution gives local families the opportunity for a better life.
Building with Knoxville Habitat is an excellent way to achieve your team building goals! Volunteer together and help families in our community. Team Building will challenge volunteers to communicate and work together to achieve a tangible outcome allowing them to feel more motivated, connected and inspired.
We provide all the tools, materials and training – you just provide a tax-deductible donation and the helping hands!
