What do Durham Habitat Volunteers have to say about their experience?
"I appreciate that you have gone out of your way to honor highschool volunteers. I've really enjoyed my experience at Habitat this summer (despite having to get up early!) and feel like I've taken a lot away from it. " Alex, 17-yr-old Construction Volunteer
"Thanks so much for the volunteering opportunity. It turned out to be especially enjoyable because several of the volunteers were Duke students, and a few were even in the majors that I am associated with (Psychology and Biology). It was fun chatting with them while we worked.
The site supervisor (Donesha) was very knowledgable and helpful, and the experience was most enjoyable. " Jef, Duke Professor
"I’ve learned so much! When I started I could barely change a light bulb by myself. Now I have new skills. But it’s also important to me to know I’m helping someone that needs a hand up, not a hand out. I wake up on those hard,chilly days more excited about Habitat than I ever was about my career. Here the customers are more important and money isn’t. It’s the most worthwhile thing I could be doing." Kenzie, "Geezer" construction volunteer
