Habitat Family Mentor Application

We are SO happy you are here! Our Family Mentors play an extremely valuable role in ensuring our Partner Families are successful in meeting the HFH requirements throughout their partnership, the construction of their home, and throughout their first year as a new homeowner and beyond!

*Please note that being a Family Mentor is a lengthy commitment that lasts approximately 3 years - beginning when the family is selected and starts their sweat equity and education requirements, throughout their build season, and continues through their first full year in the home. Usually, our Family mentors develop a strong relationship with their assigned family and the friendship could extend longer if mutually agreed upon.
