Collegiate Challenge

Juniata College participates in a Spring Break Service Trip every year. This trip is open to any active member of Habitat. It is completely free, as long you participate in the JCHfH fundraisers. We tend to go south on the first day of spring break, work all week with an affiliate, and spend one day experiencing something locally. The club usually sleeps at a local church, motel, or some other kind of housing. This is an experience that makes members understand exactly what Habitat for Humanity is about. Our most recent trip locations include: Valdosta, GA, Rock Mount, NC, Birmingham, AL and New Mexico.

Global Village Trips

In May 2003, JCHfH took its first Global Village trip to Romania. Twelve students spent all year fundraising and spent two weeks in Romania helping complete the 150,000th house built by Habitat for Humanity. In May 2005, 14 JCHfH students will travel to Zambia, Africa, to build an entire house in 2 weeks time. This is hopefully the start of a new tradition where JCHfH will take a Global Village trip every other year in May.
