What is Habitat for Humanity?

Join Youth United
Youth United is a program for youth who want to raise money and help build a Habitat home in their community. Youth who are age 5 to 25 can get involved as leaders, planners, fund-raisers and press agents. Youth ages 16 to 25 can work on the construction site to help build the house.

Advocate. Take part in Act! Speak! Build! Week
You can make a difference and help Habitat ensure that everyone has a safe place to live. Act! Speak! Build! Week is Habitat’s student-initiated week of advocacy around housing issues.
