Habitat for Humanity has been a long-time partner with the program and is currently accepting AmeriCorps members to its teams in the Portland region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Gallager, AmeriCorps was a transformative first step in pursuing his interest in affordable housing and community development and organizing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHabitat gave me a great place to explore those interests while also trying my hand at construction, which was something I had always wanted to try but never really had the opportunity to focus on,\u201d said Gallager, who first joined Habitat as an AmeriCorps crew leader in 2017 and today is a project manager on the construction team. \u201cAmeriCorps provided the opportunity to be a part of a cohort of peers who were all passionate about serving in the community and volunteering, and it was fun to meet folks from really different backgrounds all pursuing the same goals.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malia Tam Sing served two terms as an AmeriCorps volunteer with Mount Hood Habitat between 2006 and 2008. She worked with and helped lead volunteers onsite, along with administrative work with a focus on recruitment and retention \u2013 in her words, \u201cthe best of both worlds.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking alongside homeowners, volunteers and staff was inspiring and I had a feeling I found my niche,\u201d said Tam Sing said, who is now the director of procurement for Habitat ReStores, which support Habitat\u2019s work building and repairing affordable homes. She has been with Habitat for 15 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AmeriCorps members dedicate a year in support of Habitat&#8217;s mission, from working on build sites alongside volunteers and homebuyers, to office support developing and implementing systems that create a positive impact on Habitat&#8217;s efficiency.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmeriCorps increases Habitat&#8217;s opportunities to engage the local community,\u201d said Bri Lopez, Habitat Portland\u2019s volunteer program director. \u201cWith AmeriCorps members on build sites, we can lead and teach new volunteers more efficiently and safely.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AmeriCorps members can provide one-on-one or small-group training to empower volunteers to feel confident in construction, Lopez said. On the administrative side, AmeriCorps members develop efficiency through systems and processes to improve programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOverall, they bring joy, passion, and energy to the organization, and we are grateful to have them on our team,\u201d Lopez said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In return, AmeriCorps members at Habitat learn about social issues that face the Portland community, develop personal and professional skills, experience nonprofit work, and gain hands-on project management experience, Lopez said. AmeriCorps can apply from all over the country, providing the chance to live in a new place for the year. The members receive a living allowance, housing stipend, deferment of school loans, health care, and an education award after service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erin Maxey had volunteered with Habitat in high school and did a college internship with the Athens Area Habitat in Georgia before becoming an AmeriCorps. It was a good fit for her personal interests, along with her study focus on nonprofit management, finance, and budgeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew the nonprofit world was where I wanted to be,\u201d Maxey said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until Habitat that I understood exactly where in the nonprofit world I wanted to focus \u2013 but I\u2019m grateful to my AmeriCorps year for helping me realize that.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maxey said the AmeriCorps experience instilled in her the importance of community and connection \u2013 both personally and professionally. Today, Maxey is the director of Habitat Portland\u2019s homeownership programs, which works with hundreds of homebuyers and homeowners throughout the region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou very much saw on a day-to-day basis with Habitat that it takes a community to do this work,\u201d Maxey said. \u201cEveryone I met was so kind and thoughtful &#8230; They understood that while AmeriCorps members are filling a need at the organization, it\u2019s not just about that: It\u2019s about the Americorps member learning and growing, and within the AmeriCorps world as well. Other AmeriCorps members became my community and connection to Portland.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community engagement is essential to Habitat&#8217;s overall mission, Lopez notes. Community participation builds homes, supports the ReStores, and creates advocacy for affordable homeownership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCreating awareness of the need for affordable homeownership in the Portland region is a great first step toward systemic change,\u201d Lopez said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To learn more about the various AmeriCorps options with Habitat Portland Region, please visit our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/habitatportlandregion.org\/volunteer\/americorps-and-habitat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>website<\/em><\/a><em>.
