A campus chapter is a student-led, student-initiated organization on a high school or college campus that partners with the local Habitat affiliate to fulfill the four functions of a campus chapter.
In order to be officially recognized as a Habitat for Humanity campus chapter, your group must be chartered by the Youth Programs department. Step 1. Make sure your school does not already have a campus chapter. Use the locate a campus chapter page to search for your school. If your school is not listed, your school does not already have an active campus chapter. Step 2. Watch the “What is a Campus Chapter” slideshow. Youth Programs has created a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation explaining “What is a Campus Chapter?” You can select the “View Show” option to watch the slideshow as is, or edit the slideshow for your chapter's purposes.
