2023 Construction Crew Leader Summer Associate
 
 
 
The Construction Crew Leader will be hosted by Habitat for Humanity Lake County located in Waukegan, IL. Habitat for Humanity Lake County is a part of the Housing Action AmeriCorps Network, an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. As such, this position will receive customized training, support, guidance, and networking opportunities, in addition to the traditional opportunities for AmeriCorps VISTA positions. Learn more about the program on Housing Action’s website: housingactionil.org/americorps. 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. Lake County is located north of Chicago at the Wisconsin border and is the third-largest county in Illinois, with a population of 700,000. Lake County has large outer ring suburbs with a more urban feel, typical suburban communities, and rural areas. The need for affordable housing exists in all parts of the county. By bringing the community together, we as Habitat can limit costs for development and build support for each project we begin and complete. The Construction Crew Leader will engage with each volunteer crew and individual to foster an open, accepting, and empowering volunteer experience. Working alongside Habitat staff, they will lead volunteers through a day of service and ensure that everyone has a safe and rewarding experience. They will continue to improve our volunteer experience to build our volunteer retention rate to build more homes and change more lives. Our ideal candidates 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.
