Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit that builds homes for low-income, hardworking families who are not able to afford them on their own. They depend on volunteers to fulfill this mission, and offer a variety of involvement opportunities daily. One volunteer group of importance to the nonprofit is the youth, as they have many ways for children and teens to be involved.
Suncoast High School is one example of a group that has taken advantage of the opportunities for teens to volunteer. Schools Greenacres Holly McAloney, 18, founded the club at Suncoast two years ago when her AP government class was looking for a way to earn their 74 required volunteer program service hours. Members over the age of 16 can participate at the build sites, and those under 16 have helped by making posters to promote the club, stuffing house warming baskets for families moving in, helping with annual Christmas party for homeowners and raising funds.
