Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity helps people around the world who are homeless or live in slum housing by building and renovating houses for those in need. The organization has helped repair more than 800,000 houses worldwide, and can help your youth group plan a service learning project. Project ideas cater to a variety of grade levels and can cover many academic subjects including math (calculating how much it would cost to build and paint a house), art (creating portraits to help decorate the home), shop class (building small items or furniture), environmental science (planning a garden for the house), and much more.
