Team Leader Expectations

As Team Leaders, we have some expectations for our team members. We talked about these on our conference calls. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about any of the following:

On the work site:
• Safety first
• Be sure to hydrate continuously and reapply sunscreen throughout the day
• Proper attire (close-toed shoes, safety glasses, work gloves)
• If you’re not sure what you’re supposed to be doing or are not comfortable with the task you’ve
been assigned to do, find one of us or the Habitat construction foreman so we can rectify the situation.

All the time:
• Please make an extra effort to be respectful of the Hawaiian culture at all times. We are guests representing Habitat for Humanity even when we're not on the build site.
• If you go anywhere alone, be sure to let someone know where you’re going.
• Cell phones may be used during free time only.
• Patience and flexibility- despite all our careful planning, things will not always go as planned. We ask that you remain open-minded and be willing to go with the flow.
• We’re a team- we expect all team members to participate in all group activities, including team building, reflection times, and meal times.
• Live in the moment- this promises to be an incredible experience.
• Gift giving- you are giving your time, energy, positive attitude, and your help on the work site. In your trip cost, a $400 donation has been made to HFH Molokai and $100 to HFHI. Habitat for Humanity requests that you refrain from giving individual gifts.
• If you are having a problem of any kind, please let us know right away. It is very important that we work through any issues to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved- the team and team leaders, the families, the affiliate, and the community.
