Volunteer: Bend-Redmond Habitat AmeriCorps Construction Crew Leader

Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity is looking for AmeriCorps Construction Crew Leaders

As Bend and Redmond communities continue to grow at an ever increasing rate, it is not surprising that we are facing a housing crisis. Renters often pay more than half their income and homeownership becomes more unattainable every day, even for those that make 100% of the area median income. If you have a passion for helping others and are interested in learning valuable professional and life skills, you could help strengthen community through shelter by joining the Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity team as an AmeriCorps National Construction Crew Leader.

Bend-Redmond Habitat for Humanity is looking for (2) more individuals to serve full-time for 10.5 months on our residential construction sites. No construction experience is required but you will need a willingness to learn, a positive attitude, and a bias to action. For the 2024-2025 AmeriCorps service year, Construction Crew Leaders will assist in the construction of up to 24 new, sustainable homes to be sold at an affordable rate to qualified individuals and families in Bend and Redmond. The primary goals of the position are to assist with day-to-day construction activities, to help maintain a safe and efficient work environment, and to gain the skills and confidence needed to lead groups of volunteers. We also expect our members to achieve an understanding of our mission and goals in order to be an advocate for the organization and to help educate new volunteers. 

Members will receive a modest living allowance, an education award, and access to health care. Bend-Redmond Habitat also provides private subsidized housing and access to our vehicles for work travel.

Visit habitat.org/americorps and bendredmondhabitat.org/americorps for more information. Applications will be received until the available AmeriCorps positions are filled by qualified candidates.

Apply today!
