Leaders Build

Your leadership can put a family in a home, and a community on stronger footing.

Build Homes.
Build Hope.
Lead the Way.

Leaders Build is more than a day on the job site. It’s a call to action for Greater Rochester’s business and community leaders to use their influence, networks, and resources to make lasting change.

When you join Leaders Build, you’ll work alongside other influential leaders to help raise the walls of a new home. But the true power of your participation comes from rallying your peers, clients, and colleagues to invest and participate in Habitat’s mission. Every dollar you help raise and every volunteer or leader you connect us with moves us closer to building safe, affordable homes for families who need them most.

As a leader, you have the unique ability to open doors—to funding, to volunteers, to opportunities that can transform entire neighborhoods. Your presence on the build site sends a powerful message: that our community’s leaders stand united for a Greater Rochester where everyone has a decent place to live.

Join us. Bring your team. Bring your network. Bring your influence. Together, we can build homes—and hope—that will last for generations.

"I joined my first Leaders Build back in 2012 and had no idea how much it would stick with me. One day on a build site turned into years of volunteering, committee work, and now serving on the board. There’s nothing like rolling up your sleeves with other local leaders to build something that truly matters—a home, a community, and hope for a neighbor right here in Rochester."
