Campus chapter
A campus chapter is an unincorporated, student-run, student-led organization at a high school, college or university. A chapter performs three main functions: building houses in partnership with Habitat affiliates and homeowners, educating the campus and local community about the need for affordable housing and the work of Habitat for Humanity, and raising funds for the work of Habitat Currently, 630 campus chapters have been chartered nationally and internationally at high schools, colleges and universities, and the program continues to grow rapidly
How to start a campus chapter
