I certainly gained a lot from this experience, not only was it rewarding to help the family out, but I met my boyfriend of two years painting that house!

How to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity
It made me
Greatful
 "Something different to do on Spring Break."
How I did it: The college was organizing trips and Habitat for Humanity in South Carolina was one of them. I signed up, got in a van and rode to the site. I had the chance to put up a roof and siding and paint. Lessons & tips: Go with a group you're comfortable with because you work closely with others. It's preferable you're in shape because there's some heavy work that is done for hours at a time.

How I did it: I found a chapter of Habitat at my college and signed up for a winter break trip. A group of my friends had done this before, so it was fairly easy to find out how you can sign up. I haven't left yet, but we leave this Saturday on a 14 hour van ride to SC. So excited! Read how I did it…

I helped Habitat

I helped build a house on Atlanta Ga through my church and it was such a wonderful experience. I know that Habitat is a religiouly based organization and I am not at all but it’s mission is one of the best.
Hard work, but worth it

Spent the day on a Habitat for Humanity job site with many of my coworkers. We put up quite a bit of drywall in two homes that are being built in the East Trenton area. Hard work, but fun nonetheless!

so i visited their website, and you have to be at least sixteen to do build houses with habitat for humanity. so that’s out for a while now. but i’m determined to find a regular community service commitment.

I’ve been meaning to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity for years, and it looks like I’ll finally get my chance! We’re going to have a work team-building event at a local Habitat for Humanity site about a month from now. Interested to see what I’ll learn!

So, waking up at 7:30 in the morning isn’t high on my list of favorite things, especially when I didn’t get to bed until three the night before… but this was definitely worth it. It wasn’t how I imagined it at all, but it was one of the most rewarding things I’ve volunteered my time to in a LONG time. I definitely want to do this again. I got to insulate walls and waterproof them, as well as do some deconstruction and stuff. We weren’t building an entirely new house, but rather redoing a lot of a really sad lonely one…
Definitely a great way to spend a Saturday morning.
