Youth Involvement

Youth under the age of 16 can not work on the construction site for safety reasons. However they can still help! Here are some suggestions for any youth wishing to help Blount County Habitat for Humanity.

Blount County Habitat Fundraising Ideas:
*Collect empty aluminum cans and take to Spectra Recycling Center. *Organize a penny drive at your school, church, etc.
*Construct small items like bird houses, key hooks, etc. and sell for a fundraiser or give to homeowners.
*Make up your own fundraiser

Other ideas:
*Volunteer at the Habitat for Humanity Home Store (ages 14 and over).
*Make welcome home signs for the homeowners.
*Organize and serve lunch or snacks for our construction volunteers (coordinate with our construction coordinator).
*Sign wall studs that will be included in house framing.
*Collect old T-shirts and cut up for painting rags for our volunteers.
*Raise awareness at your school and community about the work of Habitat for Humanity.
*Participate in the Paper House Campaign.
*If you have any other ideas please contact us at (865) 982-8717.
