Description
Make an impact that transforms lives by creating affordable homeownership opportunities for people with limited incomes in NKY!
HONK has an opening for an AmeriCorps Member in Construction. This is a full-time volunteer service role with benefits at HONK, thanks to our partnership with the Homeless & Housing Coalition of Kentucky.
The AmeriCorps Member will help coordinate volunteers and rehab homes to assist HONK in its mission to help low-income families and individuals reach the goal of stable homeownership through programs of education and support. The member will help coordinate volunteers for HONK and rehabilitate homes. It’s a great opportunity to put construction skills to use, or to bolster a resume for a career in social work!
Compensation
The AmeriCorps Member will receive a living allowance estimated at $2,000/mo. They will have an opportunity for basic healthcare during their year of service with HONK. They will also receive an education award of $7,395 when they have completed the program (1700 hours). The education award can be used toward the payment of student loans or continuing education. It can also be passed on to children or grandchildren.
Requirement
This is a full-time one-year commitment starting August 1, 2025. Background check, drug screen, and valid driver’s license is required.
