Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge
March 11-18
Habitat for Humanity:
In 2011, the Greater Des Moines, Iowa Habitat completed 25 homes and 100 Rock the Block projects. Since 1986, GDM Habitat has served 151 households through affordable homeownership. We have impacted an additional 119 families through Rock the Block neighborhood revitalization efforts and touched tens of thousands of customers a year at the Habitat ReStore. Your lodging will be in a church, so please remember to bring a sleeping bag and pillow! We will provide one lunch during the week. Your projects will either be on the construction site, Rock the Block or helping out our ReStore. Des Moines has a lot to offer!
Evenings/Weekends/Down-time:
While the Habitat for Humanity project will take up a majority of our trip, we will also have evenings and a few weekend days where we will be able to explore the Des Moines area. Students who reserve their spot will have the option of working together to create a plan for our free time. These may include dining options, entertainment, tours, additional volunteer projects and many more.
