"It was a great bonding experience for the team, the job was fun, and you can see the direct impact you are making as you give back."
"Very enjoyable experience with a motivated team, always leave the site feeling a sense of accomplishment and wishing I could return the next day to continue the project, and I usually learn something about construction and my team members that I didn't know before the build."
"The people are great to work with and very passionate about what they do. It's a fun time, and no pressure to work with equipment you are uncomfortable with. They are willing to teach you and help you along the way."
"This was the second year our group worked a full-day shift at Habitat for Humanity, and each time our experience has been outstanding. The employees of Habitat are doing a great job providing guidance and support throughout our work, in addition to engaging with us throughout the day. Kudos for having such great employees who support the mission!"
"Overall, this experience was incredible. I had a great time learning about everything Habitat does in Iowa as well as across the US. My site supervisors were exceptionally kind, inclusive, and willing to show me what to do. I loved hearing about their backgrounds as well while doing something positive for a neighbor I grew up near. Just a fantastic non-profit in general and the experience was amazing."
"Loved giving back to the community and working with a team to reach a common goal. I felt like an asset to the team, even though I haven't done construction work in the past."
"I really enjoyed my time as a volunteer. I had the opportunity to work with tools and do things I've never done before, like using the table saw! Lenny, the Site Supervisor was so helpful, and I really appreciated his leadership style."
"I enjoy helping the community improve neighborhoods, I love meeting the future homeowners and enjoy the feeling of being on a team that is changing peoples lives and giving them hope and homes."
"I would recommend to everyone to volunteer for Habitat because all of the people who work for this company are amazing and truly care about the work they are doing for this community & that is not something you see often anymore. They make the whole process fun and you walk away really feeling good about the work you did. 10/10 wonderful company."

Notre engagement en faveur de l'appartenance et des opportunités
Chez Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, nous pensons que chaque personne mérite un endroit qu'elle peut appeler son foyer et une communauté où elle est accueillie, respectée et où elle a les moyens de s'épanouir. Enracinés dans notre foi et guidés par notre engagement envers la koinonia, nous nous efforçons d'élargir les opportunités et de favoriser l'appartenance à travers chaque aspect de notre mission - de la manière dont nous construisons et des personnes que nous servons à la culture que nous cultivons au sein de notre équipe. En tant qu'employeur et organisme de logement souscrivant au principe de l'égalité des chances, nous rejetons toute forme de discrimination et nous nous efforçons de modeler un monde où la compassion et les opportunités conduisent à un changement durable. Nous accueillons des personnes de toutes origines, identités et capacités - y compris des membres des communautés LGBTQ+ et BIPOC, des personnes de toutes confessions ou sans confession, et des personnes de toutes capacités - parce que lorsque nous nous unissons grâce à l'amour de Dieu, nous construisons plus que des maisons - nous construisons une communauté et de l'espoir pour tous.
