Job DescriptionAs the Volunteer Coordinator's Assistant, I help supervise volunteers at the job site and assist them with whatever they may need. I am responsible for maintaining proper paperwork for each volunteer. I also teach a community service orientation for court ordered community service once weekly.

Benefits & OpportunitiesThe benefits I receive are purely emotional. I get to help people in need and that is personally satisfying to me. By working at Habitat I have made some incredible connections with not only family members whom are our homeowners and their families, but also with volunteers and donors who are amazing!

AchievementsMy achievements through this internship have also been a lot of personal ones. By being in this position it has offered me the chance to see the determination in these homeowners and remind me what the true meaning of family is. Family is not just blood, but also those around you that draw you in to become one of their own. This has been an incredible experience for me to get to witness the growth of neighborhoods and families and friendships among them.
