Youth United is a program of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), sponsored by State Farm and run by youth and for youth ages 5 to 25. It brings young people together from all walks of life to play active roles in transforming their communities. Youth United mobilizes young people to sponsor and build a house with their local Habitat affiliate. Through Youth United, students gain a better understanding of their communities and poverty housing. All students are engaged in fund-raising, education and advocacy activities and those over 16 help with actual house construction.
Are you between the ages of 12 to 25? We are still looking for Youth Leaders to help us plan and fundraise.

The four goals of Youth United are to:
- Foster teamwork among diverse groups of youth.
- Educate youth about Habitat’s mission through service, advocacy, fundraising and building.
- Encourage collaboration among Youth United members, the affiliate and local community.
- Develop youth leadership through their actions and initiatives.
