Creighton University Habitat for Humanity

Abstract

Creighton University Habitat for Humanity is a student run organization that works to bring affordable houses to deserving families in need. We work with the Council Bluffs, Iowa division of Habitat for Humanity International. Our goal as a student organization is to involve students in this valuable service by building new houses, rehabilitating houses, and by educating the campus about affordable housing issues. CU Habitat welcomes all members of the Creighton and Omaha communities to sign up and volunteer at our builds. Our chapter also offers something different, however, for those volunteers wanting to get more involved in CU Habitat - membership! Chapter members become involved in all areas of our organization and are offered a wider range of serviceoriented opportunities and privileges. Basically, while volunteers help us work on the home, members go beyond this and participate in the social, developmental, reflective, and organizational facets of the club.
