Meet a student volunteer
I've worked with Habitat during Spring Break Workfest, serving in New
Rochelle and Yonkers, N.Y., for two years. Read more.
Types of Service:
Service Immersion Experiences
International service trip to Guatemala
— a service project in Guatemala in which students volunteer in a
health clinic and with a homebuilding crew for a week between fall and
spring semesters.
Spring Break Workfest — St. Joe's students volunteer their services
in low-income areas during March break as an alternative to the
traditional spring break vacation.
In their own words
Aimée
“Through the Social Justice Club, in conjunction with campus ministry, we were able to bring awareness about social justice issues to campus community. ... (30 hour famine) it was awesome to see the reactions of everyone who saw it. ... Showing the reality of childhood hunger.”
Allison
“Some of my favorite and most rewarding times here at Saint Joseph's College has been during Habitat for humanity NY and Kentucky service opportunities.”
Katelyn
“We held a drive for items for Guatemala, and collected so much the students' could not take everything with them on their annual trip to Central America. The extra was given to Partners In Development in Massachusetts and went towards Haiti earthquake relief.”
