Youth United - Messages

What is Youth United?

Youth United (YU) is a Habitat for Humanity program for youth ages 5-25. The YU leader and team motto is: “Raise Awareness, Raise Funds, Raise the Roof.” YU leadership opportunities (and year-round family activities) teach our youth to help fulfill a family’s dream of home ownership, create lifetime friendships and have fun while contributing to eliminate poverty housing in our local area.

What's the Message?

 

From the Youth United Leaders, HFH Millstone Basin Affiliate

Our Habitat for Humanity affiliate has developed an exciting initiative that invites youth ages 5-15 who have worked together with other youth in the central New Jersey area. As in Habitat affiliates who have fostered this effort across the US, this program is called Youth United (YU) -- its motto is “Raise Awareness, Raise Funds, Raise the Roof.”

YU creates many opportunities for youth to eliminate poverty housing existing within our local area. Participating in this program trains us as leaders and provides useful life lessons about “giving back” and growing worthwhile relationships and friendships.
