What is a School Chapter?

A school chapter is a student-led, student-initiated organization on a high school or college campus that partners with the local Habitat affiliate to fulfill the four functions of a campus chapter.

Your local Habitat-Detroit affiliate chapter contact person is: Sandra Cobb, Director/Volunteer Program;

The four functions of campus chapters:

How do I start a campus chapter at my school?

In order to be officially recognized as a Habitat for Humanity campus chapter, your group must be chartered by Habitat for Humanity International.

Make sure your school does not already have a campus chapter.

Locate a campus chapter to search for your school. If your school is not listed, your school does not already have an active campus chapter.
