Extreme Build for Youth 2011/2012

Extreme Build for Youth 2011/2012 is our seventh annual building event where young people across our community from different schools, churches, organizations, faiths, age groups, races, and backgrounds are coming together to build a Habitat home for a family in need.

Extreme Build for Youth provides an opportunity for area youth (ages 7 to 25) to learn new skills, participate in rewarding community service, earn service hours, and work as a diverse team to plan, sponsor, and build homes for deserving families.

NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. All training is done on the site.
