Help build a new home for a single mother 3 in beautiful Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Visit our many Cherokee museums and Hunter's Home Living History Museum. Consider staying on the Northeastern State University campus in the Wesley Foundation student building with a large living room, two private sleeping rooms for men and women, a shower and kitchen. OR stay at First United Methodist Church's gymnasium which boasts a commercial kitchen and 2 large rooms with cots available. Please be prepared to bring your own bedding, toiletries and towels. We provide the evening meal on workdays.

How it works: Gather a group of five or more students (chaperones over 25 are welcome, too) and choose a Habitat location (in this case, Oklahoma). For one week, you will partake in the Habitat mission of building homes and changing lives.
