I'm really nervous about my first volunteering day with Habitat for Humanity. I've heard stories and I'm just worried that I'll mess something up or even get hurt. What are some common mistakes that beginners often make on the construction sites?

Don't sweat it! Habitat is all about safety, so just listen to the instructions they give you and don't hesitate to ask questions if something seems off. They've got your back, and they're used to having beginners on their teams.
Injuries are super rare, and there’s training for everything. They won’t throw you into something you can’t handle. Just focus on learning and having fun; mistakes are part of the process, and they know that!
You'll be fine! They know most volunteers are inexperienced, so they'll give you tasks that suit your skills. Just stay engaged and remember, asking questions is key. Work hard, and you'll do great!
That's reassuring to hear! I just want to make sure I'm helpful and not a burden.
