As a member of the 2019-2020 AmeriCorps class, Sea Island Habitat for Humanity construction crew leader Dean Williams spends most of his days building. Volunteering has largely been the story of his life — traveling the globe to make use of the random and sometimes eccentric experiences, talents and skills he’s gathered to serve others.
Habitat for Humanity joins the world in mourning the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. A champion for affordable and decent housing, he and Rosalynn Carter donated their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes with Habitat around the world.
In 2017, Delta volunteers built or rehabilitated 19 homes across the United States and Mexico.
In October 2013, the Carter Work Project improved homes and communities in California, Colorado, New York and New Jersey.
A key group of volunteers are those who serve as committee members to move the mission forward, like Dave Hamra, family selection committee member with Tucson Habitat.
