South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity

“As cliché as it sounds, I always wanted to help people, but I didn’t know what that looked like,” he said. “When I was at SPSCC, I took a lot of social science classes, and I became passionate about social justice work. That helped me understand what I wanted to do as a career.”

Read on to learn how Jonathan got his start at South Puget Sound Habitat—as a volunteer, then as our Community Engagement Liason.

When Jonathan Thomas started at SPSCC, he was a stay-at-home dad balancing college with raising three daughters. Today, he’s helping families across the region through his work with South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity.

“I’m just so grateful for SPSCC. The opportunity, the resources the college gave me. Whether that’s financial aid, help with textbooks, or tutoring. I’m so grateful for all of it.”
