Youth United
The Future is Building
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!
These experiences teach marketing, communication, event planning,
organizational, and construction skills for now and the future!
