Collegiate Challenge

Habitat for Humanity's 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.

PolyHabitat has been going on Collegiate Challenge spring break trips since 2002, providing Cal Poly students with the opportunity to help out an awesome organization, get to know new friends, and see different parts of the US.

In order to participate in PolyHabitat's Collegiate Challenge, you must be an active member with paid dues.  Participants are chosen on a first come, first serve basis.  Download a membership application (pdf) and turn it in to an officer as soon as possible!.

In 2006 we traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico and in 2007 we headed back to Kauai, Hawaii for an awesome time!
