What are Habitat Ambassadors (formerly known as the Speaker's Bureau)?

Habitat Ambassadors are storytellers, advocates, and friendly faces who bring Habitat’s mission to life. From speaking to civic groups and faith communities to attending community events and recruitment fairs, these volunteers help educate, inspire, and invite others to get involved.

We’re working to revive and grow this group with volunteers who enjoy connecting with people, sharing stories, and opening doors to new partnerships and opportunities. As this program grows, we’re excited to add new opportunities & events where Ambassadors will represent every part of our mission—construction, ReStore, homeownership, volunteering, and more.

Join our Habitat Ambassadors 101 session to learn more!

These are hours for attending your own home dedication once construction is complete.

Children's Hours including report cards & drawings.

**Dietary/Religious Restrictions:

Please be sensitive to our volunteers with special dietary or religious concerns. If you could provide a small variety of meal choices, that usually covers all dietary needs. We ask that you always have a small portion of a vegetarian entrée option available such as a salad or a vegetarian version of whatever you’re making such as chili, soup, lasagna, pizza, sandwiches, salads without bacon bits, meat, etc. Click here for our meal suggestions document.

When you set up, there is a table on site, as well as a cooler, and a roll of garbage bags. Lunch is typically a half-hour break, but it could run over depending on the situation. Feel free to clean up once everyone has finished eating and they return to work.
