Volunteer and Community Outreach Coordinator

The Volunteer and Community Outreach Coordinator recruits, trains, and leads volunteers while representing HFHWM in the community. This is a hands-on, physically demanding role that takes place primarily on build and repair sites - often outdoors and in all weather.
