COMMITTEES
Active Committees
Associate Board: The Habitat Chicago Associate Board is a network for passionate young professionals to raise awareness and revenue for Habitat Chicago through social events, volunteer days, and fundraising efforts. Learn more.
Finance: The Finance Committee leads our annual budgeting process, oversees our audit functions, and reviews our financial policy and procedures for both Habitat Chicago and our ReStore.
Women Build: Seeking to help women homebuyers overcome the gendered barriers to homeownership, Women Build is an annual event that brings together hundreds of women to fund and advance the construction of Habitat homes. The Women Build Committee assists our staff in planning and executing this complex event. Committee members must have participated in at least one Women Build prior to joining.
Requirements
A minimum one-year commitment is required for each committee. You are expected to participate in monthly meetings as well as complete any projects that are assigned to you between meetings. It is also expected that you attend other Habitat Chicago events occurring throughout the year to maintain an understanding of our work and growth.
