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.

Read more examples of Youth Participation (PDF).

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
