"Serving and volunteering for this community has always been a passion of mine. I am very humbled and excited to be a part of the exceptional team at Habitat for Humanity of Spartanburg, the leading provider of a secure and stable future for families in the community. You do not often come across a job opportunity that makes you feel good at the end of the day. It is a joyful and rewarding feeling to know that you have made a change in someone’s life and helped them overcome barriers and obstacles in their life."
