Students build most Fridays and Saturdays around Centre County, Pennsylvania. We do local work through our local affiliate, Tricounty Habitat for Humanity. Students spend the day building and getting to know each other. PSU Habitat for Humanity's biggest event every year is spring break. We send over a hundred college students to different locations throughout the southeastern United States.
Students build with the local affiliates during the day, and do fun activities in the evening.
Transportation, meals, and lodging are included in the cost of the trip. One of the benefits to getting involved in any Penn State organization is the opportunity to participate in major campus activities such as Homecoming and Thon. During Homecoming week, we construct a float for the parade. In the fall and spring semester, we send canning trips and do pledge booking to raise money for Thon. To support our activities, we emphasize fundraising.
