Youth United
The future is building
Youth United is a Habitat for Humanity program run by youth and for youth ages 5 to 25. It brings young people together from all walks of life to play active roles in transforming their communities. Youth United mobilizes young people to sponsor and build a house with their local Habitat affiliate.
Youth United teaches leadership and teamwork skills
Through Youth United, students gain a better understanding of their communities and poverty housing. All students are engaged in fundraising, education and advocacy activities and those over 16 help with actual house construction.
The four goals of Youth United
- Involve youth in their communities.
- Engage youth in Habitat’s mission of eliminating poverty housing.
- Foster teamwork among diverse groups of youth.
- Develop youth leaders.
