Abstract
Creighton University Habitat for Humanity is a student run
organization that works to bring affordable houses to deserving
families in need. We work with the Council Bluffs, Iowa division
of Habitat for Humanity International. Our goal as a student
organization is to involve students in this valuable service by
building new houses, rehabilitating houses, and by educating the
campus about affordable housing issues.
CU Habitat welcomes all members of the Creighton and
Omaha communities to sign up and volunteer at our builds. Our
chapter also offers something different, however, for those
volunteers wanting to get more involved in CU Habitat -
membership! Chapter members become involved in all areas of
our organization and are offered a wider range of serviceoriented
opportunities and privileges. Basically, while volunteers
help us work on the home, members go beyond this and
participate in the social, developmental, reflective, and
organizational facets of the club.
