For one year, get paid to build sustainable solutions in a community, gain valuable hands-on experience and prepare for your future. This full-time AmeriCorps service position offers a great opportunity to make an impact in the lives of others while building your own knowledge and skillset.  
AmeriCorps National members serve the community in direct service and capacity building activities. 
What will you do?  
The construction crew leader plays an integral part in building and repairing homes. Lead groups of skilled and unskilled volunteers and homeowner families in construction activities while maintaining a safe, efficient work environment, thus, developing and enhancing your volunteer management and construction skills.
  • Typically serve Tuesday - Saturday on the build site.   
  • Assist with all aspects of hands-on construction tasks including, but not limited to, demolition, site prep, framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, roofing, finish carpentry and landscaping. 
  • Projects may include new construction, rehabilitation, critical home repair and weatherization projects.
  • Lead small groups of volunteers and facilitate safe and positive experiences for everyone working on site. 
  • Maintain site safety by adhering to Habitat construction safety policies, modeling best practices and guidelines, volunteer education and site monitoring.

This position will focus on home construction aspects of Habitat affiliate operations.

  • Activities and attractions: Chicago offers an incredible backdrop for a year of service, with worldclass cultural venues like the Art Institute, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, and Shedd Aquarium enriching the city's vibrant arts and learning scene. Its beautiful lakefront and numerous beaches provide plenty of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors, while historic landmarks showcase the city's storied past. Sports enthusiasts will love the energy of cheering on local teams at iconic venues such as Wrigley Field, the United Center, and Guaranteed Rate Field. Chicago offers endless opportunities to explore, connect, and feel at home. 
  • Unique projects: The AmeriCorps National Construction Crew Leader will lead volunteer crews on multi-home build sites, support critical phases of construction such as framing, siding, interior finishes, and punchlist completion, and help pilot improved workflow systems that make build days smoother and safer. By bridging hands-on construction with volunteer leadership, this position drives forward both daily build progress and long-term capacity-building initiatives across Habitat Chicago's focus neighborhoods. 

When will you serve?
