Habitat is committed to helping volunteer coordinators come up with productive ways to involve youth, ages 5 to 15, who are too young to build on Habitat sites. We have created several resources for teachers and youth leaders to help them engage youth volunteers. The Habitat for Humanity Classroom Lessons, now with middle school lesson sets, help teach public and private school students about housing issues around the world with complete classroom lesson sets. Lessons in a variety of subjects are included for elementary, middle and high school students. HFHI has created a variety of tools and activities to involve young people in Habitat’s work off the build site.
