Youth and Education Partnerships

With their special energy, enthusiasm and creativity, youth and education groups can play a unique role in Habitat’s mission to eliminate poverty housing and create awareness of the need for decent, affordable housing for all people.

Working with Habitat lets volunteers gain first-hand knowledge about issues of affordable housing, and provides them with the opportunity to work toward a solution. They also learn new skills and develop a life-long spirit of service at the same time.

We encourage youth to be involved in any of our group or individual volunteer opportunities. However, certain age guidelines must be strictly enforced:

Most construction site tasks require volunteers to be 16 years of age or older and at least 18 years of age to be on a roof. There are limited construction youth-sm

tasks that can be done by volunteers under 16 and must be accompanied by adult supervision. All volunteers must fill out and sign a

Adult Release & Waiver of Liability. All minor volunteers must fill out and sign a

Minor Release & Waiver of Liability. Minors must have their waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Youth and education groups can join the work of Central South Carolina Habitat for Humanity in the following ways:

Donating financially to Central South Carolina Habitat for Humanity
Volunteering with Central South Carolina Habitat for Humanity
Educating your group and others about housing-related issues
Advocating for public policy that supports affordable housing
