Want to make a real difference while creating lifelong memories?
Join Habitat for Humanity’s Collegiate Challenge for a spring break that goes beyond the usual trip. As part of one of Habitat's longest-running youth volunteer programs, you’ll spend a week alongside your friends working with dedicated teams to help build safe, affordable housing in communities across the United States. No experience is necessary-just bring your energy and desire to make a change!
How it works: Gather a group of five or more students (chaperones over 25 are welcome, too) and choose a Habitat location that speaks to you, whether it’s close to home or across the country. Depending on the site, lodging and meals may be available, making it even easier to focus on what matters: creating a positive impact.

Mission Statement
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. We partner with people in your community and all over the world to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With your support, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. Through our work, we strive to achieve our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
