Habitat for Humanity is seeking to fill 500+ AmeriCorps positions in communities across the United States. These are full time service opportunities (with a living allowance) that range from 10 ½ - 12 months and offer a great opportunity to recent graduates to make a real impact in the lives of others while simultaneously building one’s own knowledge and skillset level.
As a Habitat AmeriCorps Member, you will receive a monthly living allowance, paid leave time, and access to other benefits such as the Segal Education Award (valued up to $5,815.) While the living allowance won’t make anyone rich, it is sufficient to meet the basic needs and some host sites may provide some additional assistance to help with housing costs.
Most members begin service in August and September 2017.
What We Do
Everyone deserves a decent place to live. Here at Habitat, we build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. We believe in providing access to decent and affordable housing, partnering with future Habitat homeowners to create a decent and affordable place to call home.
What You’ll Do
As a Habitat AmeriCorps member, you will be placed in one of our 100+ communities supported by our local Habitat affiliates. You will use your passion and commitment to service to meet the needs of our Habitat affiliates by engaging communities, building capacity, and increasing productivity. There are many individualized roles to choose from, so finding one that utilizes your strengths and unique skillset should be pretty easy. We offer roles ranging from construction to volunteer management to project development.

U.S. citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident
