Our mission is to advocate for safer, more affordable housing, educate our campus and community about Habitat for Humanity and inadequate housing, build homes in our community, and fundraise for Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity! In addition, we are dedicated to building leaders, friendships– and have some fun along the way!

Advocate — Educate — Build —- Fundraise

Hey Habitat,

I hope your first week back went well. Here’s what you can expect for the week.
First member meeting is Wednesday, January 30 at 8:00 pm in the Indiana Room, IMU. This meeting will be short and sweet.  We will…
  • introduce the executive committee and the committee leaders
  • give a general overview of what we do as a campus chapter.
  • There will be a sign up for our first event of the semester- the Habitat Tour will take place this Saturday, February 2.
  • Announce upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and how you can get involved.

Just a reminder that the application for the position of treasurer in training is due Wednesday, January 30.

 

About Us:

The University of Iowa Habitat for Humanity Chapter is committed to advocating the need for affordable housing in our community, educating others about Habitat, fundraising, and building houses alongside our local affiliate: Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity.

We’re building:

  • Homes. As members of the UI Habitat Chapter, we get involved in building actual homes with the IVHFH affiliate.
  • Skills. Not only will you build construction skills, but you’ll improve your communication and team-working skills by taking part in events and other fundraisers with the UI Habitat Chapter.
  • Connections. Life is all about networking. Through the UI Habitat Chapter, you’ll meet others — like yourself — who are interested in making a difference.
  • Families. Through your effort within the UI Habitat Chapter, we’ll be helping to raise money for the Iowa Valley Habitat affiliate. Our assistance will ensure more families can move into their own homes, and more than that, more families will have a brand new start at life.
  • The University of Iowa campus. We’re bringing students from all areas within the University together for one purpose: supporting the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity affiliate as they give low-income families a hand up into homeownership.

We’re making a difference on campus and involving people from all walks of life to help deserving families into safe, decent and affordable homes of their own. If you are looking for an opportunity to make a lasting impact, learn skills that will make you stand out against your other peers, and help us in building community on the UI campus, look no further than the UI Habitat Campus Chapter!
