Volunteer Valentines!
"The very first time we volunteered with Habitat the weather was terrible and they had us dig footings out with shovels. As we were driving home that night, we both said, ‘We will never do this again.’”

Amy and Joel would never have imagined that years later they would be at the Habitat Wake construction site every week...for fun!

Their journey into regular volunteering with Habitat was gradual.

Cardinal Gibbons Builds a Habit of Service
If you ever swing by a Habitat Wake construction site and see the Cardinal Gibbons High School bus parked nearby, you're in for something special. Sure, there's a bit more goofy energy going around than usual (Picture: 30 high school seniors at 9am in hardhats). But there's also something special happening here: young adults are laying the foundation for a lifetime of service and community engagement.

Summer of Service
Meet Cameron! He is entering his senior year of high school with a clear vision for his future: a career in construction. This summer, he spent his time on Habitat Wake’s construction site through our Summer of Service program.

“I found the program through a teacher at my school,” Cameron says. “She knew I wanted to work in the construction field after high school, and she really wanted to make sure I got an internship.”
