Welcome to Habitat for Humanity Edmonton's Work Experience Application!

We take referrals from approved community partners (such as an agency, school, or employment support organization). Applications submitted without a referral from an approved community partner will not be considered.

Work experience placements provide opportunities for individuals to develop workplace skills, gain hands-on experience, and build confidence in a supportive volunteer environment.

This application is used to register the placement, identify your referring organization, and gather information that will help us determine a suitable volunteer opportunity. Placements are subject to availability and organizational needs. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee placement.

If you have questions about eligibility, referral requirements, or potential placement opportunities, please contact us.
