How Youth Leaders Get Sponsors

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.

How to Speak to Sponsors

Speaking with potential sponsors can be an intimidating experience. You set up a meeting during their busy schedule so that you can ask something from them, something that they may not be willing to give you. How to you handle the situation? Click here to learn how.

In-Kind Donations


Your school or group can work with our Habitat for Humanity Millstone Basin Affiliate Board to learn about donating items and goods for the partner homes. These are called in-kind donations – they are not money but goods. To learn more about this type of donation, contact us by leaving us a message at (609) 443-8744 or emailing us at info@habitatmba.org.
