About PolyHabitat Habitat for Humanity, Cal Poly Chapter
PolyHabitat is open to all majors at the University. Meetings are held the 1st Tuesday of every month in room (TBD) on campus. Membership is not required to attend the meetings and everyone is always welcome. Started in 2000 on the campus of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, PolyHabitat has made an effect on low income housing on the Central Coast. Projects all over the county range from multi-bedroom family houses to the ReStore in Templeton. The ReStore functions as an "urban recycling center" that benefits San Luis Obispo Habitat for Humanity and PolyHabitat volunteers work where needed. Every year PolyHabitat also participates in Habitat for Humanity's Collegiate Challenge (official site). Collegiate Challenge is a US-based program that organizes group work-trips for college and high school students during academic breaks. While summer, fall, and winter break trips are available, the primary focus of the program is Spring Break; last year roughly 9000 students participated over their Spring Break and 1100 more took part in trips during the rest of the year, according to Habitat for Humanity International. To find out how to be a part of Collegiate Challenge, go to Collegiate Challenge (our site) section. |
