habitat for humanity Raised in what I refer to as a “Habitat Family� I remember very few weekends and vacations void of a volunteer project. Starting at the age of fourteen locations ranged from Colorado to Virginia to Missouri and now Ka nsas. My roles typically involved assisting with on-site work but also involved fundraising and event support. The most recent project featured on the right I was involved with distantly (due to the beginning of graduate school) but was especially exciting because it was one of the first
sustainable Habitat projects to modify an older residence. This was relevant to
this communitiy and many other communities across the world because of the embodied energy and potential in these older structures. By renovating this project green in a cost effective manner we were able to show the community that they too can remodel their homes to be more energy efficient and environmentally conscious. The excitement from the community around this project was incredibly uplifting and hopefully we’ll be able to do more projects of this nature in the future.
