Habitat for Humanity Americorps
Miami, FL • 08/29/2007
Habitat for Humanity EKC of Wasington state is now seeking WSC Americorps members to serve from September 2007- July 2008 as Construction Volunteer Leads, Family Services Support, and an Americorps Team Leader.
Join us for ten and a half months to increase the supply of affordable housing, bring the community together, empower the lives of others and yourself, and work towards making green building affordable!
The need for affordable housing has reached critical proportion. Natural disasters, lack of land, the price of real estate, the increase in poverty rates—all of these issues play a part in preventing Americans from owning their own homes. Our mission is to empower families, build community and create hope through an aggressive home-building ministry. We construct homes using over 90% volunteer labor and sell homes with zero-interest mortgages at zero profit and with a zero financial down payment to families at 25% to 50% of the median income for our community.
Position Includes:
- Biweekly living allowance
- Health Coverage
- Student loan deferment
- Van pool to and from work sites
- On-site training
- $4,725 education award upon completion of service
Interested Applicants must:
- Share a commitment to community development and service
- Feel comfortable in a role of leadership
- Be skilled at building and maintaining relationships with people of diverse backgrounds and abilities
- Be able to communicate clearly and effectively and comprehend new information on a relatively quick basis.
- Be able to lift and carry heavy building materials.
- Be willing to engage in physically demanding and strenuous work.
- Be willing to use hand tools, power tools and heavy equipment.
- Be able to commit to a 40 hour work week, Tuesday through Saturday
- Be over 18 and possess a high school diploma (or be willing to work for a GED)
