About Me
In February 2016, I became a core volunteer with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. Most Saturdays, you will find me in a beautiful area of southeast Dallas called Joppa, which was founded in 1870 and is one of the last remaining freedman’s towns in Texas. For over 30 years, President and Mrs. Carter have joined over 100,000 volunteers to continue the vision of Habitat for Humanity for a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Once a year, volunteers from around the globe participate in the Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter Work Project, a week-long event to build and repair homes. This year, the 2017 JRCWP is being held in Edmonton and Winnipeg in July. I applied and have been accepted to participate in Edmonton and am honored to attend with fellow volunteers from Dallas and make an impact for 150 families in Canada. I am raising money for the registration cost to attend and meet key milestone deposit amount in March, April & June.
More Info
The 2017 Carter Work Project will be held at sites across Canada July 9-14, 2017. The two main build sites will be hosted by Habitat Edmonton in Alberta and Habitat Manitoba in Winnipeg. President and Mrs. Carter and hundreds of volunteers will help 150 families across Canada, including Indigenous families, access affordable homeownership.
For over 30 years, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter have traveled across the world with Habitat for Humanity and thousands of volunteers, donating their time and voices to build and improve homes alongside Habitat homeowners. Their time and effort helps raise awareness of the critical need for affordable homeownership, and how Habitat helps homeowners achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Since 1984, Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project has drawn nearly 100,000 enthusiastic volunteers who have rolled up their sleeves to help build or improve homes in partnership with families in need of affordable housing. Together with the Carters, these volunteers have built, renovated or repaired more than 4,000 homes in 14 countries.
