Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator

Central Valley Habitat for Humanity located in Bridgewater, Virginia, is a locally-run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity's mission is "Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat brings people together to build homes, community and hope." Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We build homes that are sold to qualifying families with a price structure so that no more than 30% of household income is used for a mortgage payment.
Central Valley Habitat is experiencing substantial growth and development with an aggressive growth plan to continue to increase the number of families we serve throughout the foreseeable future. We seek to make a long-term impact on the supply of affordable housing throughout Rockingham County and Harrisonburg, and in the lives of Habitat homeowners.
