Habitat for Humanity of Westchester celebrates its high schools’ future builders

Habitat for Humanity of Westchester celebrates its high schools’ future builders. HFHW has had high school clubs for over 20 years. The future is bright for the youth. Our high schools meet the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. Also, become an intern and join the A-Team this summer. High school clubs build, raise awareness, work in the Restore, advocate, and raise support. Also, this year, they will be helping in the brand new Made in America Shop.

 

P.S. This year, we welcome high schools joining us in the Rockaways.

Collegiate Challenge and Others Continue to Pour In

Habitat of Westchester breaks the top ten for the largest Collegiate Challenge groups in the United States. In the past few months, we have had dozens of groups take part in rebuilding homes across this county.

Groups from such institutions as Montgomery High School the University of Illinois, Pennsylvania College of Technology, Saint Mary's University, Christopher Newport University and Winona State University. So many universities and organizations take part to make an impact with the community. Has your organization built a Habitat home yet?
