Needs From: Volunteer Blount

Financial Mentors meet one-on-one with an assigned Habitat Homeownership or Preparatory Program Partner each month, offer support and reinforce the money management methods taught in homebuyer classes.

A Financial Mentor also monitors the understanding of and follow-through with money management principles (including debt repayment and monthly Individual Development Account deposits).

All Volunteers must attend and volunteer training prior to working with clients.

If interested, contact Melissa Tyler, 865-233-9110 or melissa@blounthabitat.org

Home Repair Volunteers work on homes to perform home repair projects that have met the qualifications for the Home Repair Program.  Volunteers will work closely with the Home Repair Project Manager to ensure quality work is done, site safety is maintained, and open communication before, during and after a project. Critical home repairs would remain incomplete without the time and leadership of the Volunteers.

Volunteer projects are generally completed every Thursday, weather permitting. The work write-up is sent ahead of time to assign the project for the week. Contact Project Manager Bobby Eason to be added to the distribution list (bobby@blounthabitat.org).

All volunteers must meet with the BCHFH Home Repair Project Manager before working onsite to learn more about the volunteer opportunity and to sign the required Volunteer Registration Form and Privacy Policy.
