About Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1976, is a global Christian nonprofit organization that grew out of an intentionally
multiracial community in rural Georgia. Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat brings together people of all
faiths and people of no faith to build homes, communities and hope. Working alongside each other, we help families
and individuals build and improve places to call home and achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need
to build better lives for themselves. Habitat seeks to engage volunteers who have a willingness to affirm these
principles and values.
At Habitat for Humanity, we embrace a history rooted in creating equity and take our mission seriously by
courageously committing to a culture and workplace where all feel safe, welcome, visible, respected, supported and
valued. As an equal opportunity organization, we realize that our success depends upon building an inclusive
workforce and volunteer force of diverse perspectives and encouraging people of varied races; ethnicities; national
origins; tribes; religions; ages; gender identities and expressions; sexual orientations; marital statuses; disabilities;
veteran, Reserve or National Guard statuses; socioeconomic statuses; and thinking and communication styles to
engage with us.
We also require that all staff members and volunteers take seriously their ethical responsibilities to safeguarding our
intended beneficiaries, their communities (especially children), and all those with whom we work. In line with the
prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, certain volunteer positions require a sex offender and/or criminal
background check. All volunteers will be held accountable to upholding our policies on ethical behavior, including
safeguarding and whistleblowing.
