Looking to the Future: Emily Ostercamp

We are thrilled to introduce Emily Ostercamp, our new Program Manager for Southwest Minnesota.

Emily previously worked with Rebuilding Together Minnesota on the programs team during her Americorps appointment, and we’re so excited to welcome her back. After finishing her appointment, Emily relocated to North Carolina and managed similar programming in the community of Wilmington. She’s since returned home to Southwest Minnesota, purchasing property in Jackson County.

After several years of progressive experience in managing programs, direct client support, project management, and volunteer support, we are excited to bring Emily’s expertise to our growing work in the Southwest area. You’ll see her around at local community events, networking with partners, and serving the needs across the five-county region.

We are confident that Emily will make significant contributions to our team, and we look forward to continuing to expand our service of Southwest Minnesotans with the no-cost modifications and critical repairs they deserve! Emily’s unique skills and enthusiasm for community service are a perfect match for our organization’s vision to keep more families in the homes and communities they love.

Welcome back to the team, Emily!
