Company Profile

Company Overview

We are a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. We build with people in need regardless of race or religion. We welcome volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds. Nearly 2 billion people around the world live in slum housing and over 100 million are homeless. Habitat for Humanity is needed to help eliminate poverty by providing simple, decent shelter to those in need. Volunteers work together with homeowners, Habitat staff & AmeriCorps in a cooperative partnership to construct our homes. Hospitality is central to the Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County (HFHSKC) AmeriCorps program – both in striving to provide stellar volunteer and family experiences that build community and change lives, and also in supporting our AmeriCorps members in a solid, developmental, enriching year of growth toward greater opportunities in the future. Our AmeriCorps are at the front lines of serving, recruiting, training, guiding, supporting, retaining, and recognizing our families, volunteers, and community partners. The program requires a great deal of dedication as our AmeriCorps members are ambassadors to our community, serving in physically and socially intensive roles while embodying the service ethic for which AmeriCorps stands.
