Youth and Education Partnerships with Twin Cities Habitat

Youth PartnersYoung people and students play a huge role in our mission to eliminate poverty housing from the Twin Cities and create awareness of the need for decent, affordable shelter for all people. We welcome the energy and enthusiasm this groups bring.

Our goal is to provide special opportunities for youth to become educated about affordable housing while they volunteer with us. We want them to build self-esteem, learn new skills, receive hands-on job training, and develop a life-long spirit of service.
