Habitat Young Professionals (HYP)

HYP provides a unique opportunity to connect emerging leaders and socially conscious young adults with every part of Habitat, and with each other. Not only do we build quality affordable homes, but we also build your skills, network, sense of community, and more.

HYP events

HYP hosts several events each year that bring young professionals together to build connections while building homes, community, and hope. These include HYP volunteer days, networking events, happy hours, and fundraisers.

HYP committee

Committee members are the core group of dedicated volunteers that work with Habitat staff to set goals, strategy, and processes for each volunteer program. More than just an "ideas committee", committee members must also be dedicated to implementing processes, performing tasks, and supporting teams to achieve goals.

Each individual on the committee can focus their efforts based on their interest, skills, and availability; but HYP has a unique ability to work with all aspects of Habitat for Humanity. Some focuses include: advocacy, disaster relief, employment, event planning, global work, family services, homeownership, home repairs, job training, liaison to partner organizations, liaison to other Habitat volunteer programs, marketing, outreach, research, promotions, photography, ReStore, social media, volunteer coordination, volunteer recruitment, youth programming, and more.
