On this project, we will work with a local Habitat for Humanity chapter and their partner homeowners to build or improve housing. Having a decent, affordable, and safe place to call home is a fundamental aspect of our lives, and one we often take for granted. Habitat for Humanity is committed to eliminating substandard housing and to helping their partner homeowners achieve stability and independence. We will spend most of our week working on a home build with some time spent as a Habitat for Humanity store volunteer (as needed). 

Students should come with a readiness for physical labor and enthusiasm for service.

Special Considerations

Students will receive 15 Service Hours for completing this project.

Students on this trip must be 16 or older by the time Project Week occurs

Participants must be willing to follow King County and destination travel COVID guidelines.  If a participant should become COVID positive during the trip, the student will be isolated, and the student’s family will be required to pick up the student within 36 hours at their current location.  The family will bear all the costs associated with any travel to pick up their student and any costs for isolation or return travel. 

By selecting the above project, you and your family are accepting the financial responsibility for the cost of the projects.  This includes any unrecoverable expenses incurred if Overlake, or any federal, state or local government forces cancelation of the project, or if you or your family decide not to attend, or your student becomes COVID positive and needs to be isolated.
