Involve Youth in Habitat for Humanity

There are many other ways to get young people involved in community service with Habitat for Humanity. From making welcome baskets for the families, to planting a tree, helping with mailings, or tutoring younger children of partner families, Orange County young people can get involved in making a difference through Habitat for Humanity.

To work on a construction site, a young person MUST be 16 years of age or older and complete the Parental Consent form (PDF).

Recruit a Group for House Builds

For a donation of $2,500, your church, civic organization, company, or school group can build a home for a day. It’s a great team-building experience. For more information, email Susan Bourner.
