Casa Verde Builders
 
 
 
Casa Verde Builders, a program of YouthBuild Austin at American YouthWorks, is a national leader in combining green building, affordable housing, and education in Austin, Texas. Over the past 20 years AmeriCorps members built 100+ green-built homes for low-income, first time homebuyers, conducted weatherization & home repair projects, and collaborated with Mobile Loaves & Fishes to construct tiny-homes at the CommunityFirst! Village for the chronically unhoused. Our work at Casa Verde Builders is not only physically demanding but also centers on the principles of teaching, learning, and mastering new skills. Our program invites individuals to be a part of a community that not only constructs homes but also contributes to the greater goal of fostering environmentally conscious practices and providing sustainable housing solutions for those in need. Elevate your impact at Casa Verde Builders! Our commitment to sustainability is a model for the Climate Corps programs now in development, focusing on projects that promote sustainable development and social equity. Casa Verde Builders offers a Solar Training Certificate program where we strive to bring renewable energy solutions to marginalized communities. We are currently recruiting young people from across the country and various walks of life to work together in a team-oriented service environment. AmeriCorps members serve in a full-time capacity (M-F; 8:00-5:00). There will be multiple start dates in March, April, July, and Sept. As an AmeriCorps member, not only will you receive a living stipend, health benefits, and career counseling, but you'll also be eligible for an educational award that sets you on a path to future success. Serving with AmeriCorps is both challenging and rewarding. It's a place to learn, grow, and have an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life.
