What the AmeriCorps Program means to us...

At Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity, our mission is powered not only by generous donors and dedicated volunteers—but also by the incredible service of our AmeriCorps members. These individuals are essential to our team, supporting not only the families and communities we serve but also the staff working behind the scenes. They bring fresh energy, innovative ideas, and a deep commitment to service that lightens the load for our team and increases what we can achieve together. Whether coordinating volunteers, assisting with build logistics, or connecting with Habitat homeowners, AmeriCorps members help streamline our operations and allow staff to focus on long-term goals. Their presence makes our team stronger, more efficient, and better equipped to serve. We're proud to partner with AmeriCorps and grateful for the members who help us build a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
