Habitat for Humanity Lake County is a nonprofit housing developer that brings volunteers, donors, customers, and partners together to build affordable houses for Partner Families in the community. There are many people in the broader Lake County community who could benefit from these offerings. By bringing the community together we as Habitat can limit costs for development and build support for each project we begin and complete. The ReStore Associate will help to improve our customer, donor, and volunteer experience at our ReStore Gurnee. They will work alongside our staff to provide excellent customer service, an engaging volunteer experience, and represent Habitat to the community in a positive way. Lake County is located north of Chicago at the Wisconsin border. The third-largest county in Illinois, 700,000 people live here.

Our ideal candidates will have a passion for working with the community, are enthusiastic about providing affordable housing solutions, and are excited to be a part of a team focused on change. This ReStore Associate will be hosted by Habitat for Humanity Lake County located in Waukegan, IL.
