Youth Leadership Conference
Hundreds of youth, as well as the advisers that support them, gather for annual Youth Leadership Conference. Habitat staff, Youth United and Campus Chapter advisers and others involving youth with Habitat for Humanity are encouraged to attend!

Act! Speak! Build! Week
Act! Speak! Build! Week is Habitat’s student-initiated week of advocacy around housing issues. Young people ages 5 to 25 partner with local Habitat for Humanity affiliates to plan and host events focused on ending poverty housing.

Campus Chapters
Campus chapters are student-led organizations on high school or college campuses that partner with local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Campus Chapters help Habitat advocate, educate, build and fundraise to eliminate poverty housing.

Collegiate Challenge
Collegiate Challenge is a year-round program that offers an alternative to school break trips. Groups of students ages 16 and older can spend one week working in partnership with Habitat for Humanity organizations across the United States.

Global Village
Global Village trips are short-term build trips to locations throughout the United States and the world! Youth 16 and older may be able to sign up as an individual or as part of a group.

Learn and Build Experience
Learn and Build Experience is a fun, hands-on opportunity for high school students ages 16 to 18. Youth travel to come together with a team of participants from all over the country to contribute as they learn about poverty issues and community.

Youth United
Youth United is a program for youth who want to raise money and help build a Habitat home in their communities. Youth ages 5 to 25 can get involved as leaders, planners and press agents, and they can help raise funds, too. Youth ages 16 to 25 can work on the construction site to help build the house.

Get involved locally
You can contact your local Habitat for Humanity affiliate to find out how youth can contribute in your community. Youth must be 16 to be on an active construction site, but your local affiliate can tell you about all of the options available in your community.
