A “Tiger” is a volunteer committed and dedicated to helping Greater Indy Habitat achieve its mission by consistently contributing time and skill. No experience is required, and each Tiger is orientated to become an advocate and knowledgeable representative of Greater Indy Habitat. All volunteers are required to follow our volunteer build site guidelines.
