Will County Habitat for Humanity

Campus Chapters

Are you a high school or college student who is deeply unsettled by the fact that many of your neighbors live in declining conditions?

If you're ready to use your voice, your time, and your connections to take on this challenge headfirst, consider starting a Will County Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter.
What is a Campus Chapter?
  • Will County Habitat campus chapters are groups of classmates that are officially affiliated with Will County Habitat for Humanity and use their campus as a platform to educate and advocate for our mission.
  • Campus chapters are comprised of students who recognize that it isn't foolish or naive to believe that you can effect serious change for your community.
  • They recognize that words are good, but taking action is even better.
  • They recognize that, as a society, we have the resources to build a world where everyone has a decent place to live, we just need to come together to make it happen.
  • They recognize that the time to build is now.

 
Key Activities
