THE FUTURE IS BUILDING!!

        

Youth United!

Our Towns Youth United is a program designed to mobilize young people, ages 5-25, to fully fund and build a house. Youth United aims to provide service and leadership opportunities in an environment that fosters compassion and growth. Youth, ages 5-25, help with planning, publicity, homeowner relations and fundraising, while youth, ages 16-25, help build a house for someone in need of a decent, affordable home!

The 3rd Youth United house was dedicated July 20th, 2008. We are now working toward our 4th Youth United house that will start in March 2010!
