So what if I told you Evansville, IN was the best city o do a volunteering spring break trip in 2025 ANDDDDD you can help the housing crisis in the process?

You've heard of Habitat for Humanity and guess what? We host college groups just like yours to help us build homes across the nation. If you are looking for an alternative, volunteer based spring break activity for 10-25 of your college students keep reading.

We are currently addressing the long-term housing needs of those affected by the November '05 tornado through a unique initiative "Operation Home Again project." We have built more than 325 homes since 1984. Over 18K people live in poverty; 1/3 of renters are paying over 35% monthly income for rent.

How it works: Gather a group of 10 more college students (chaperones over 25 are welcome, too) and choose a Habitat location (in this case, Evansville). For one week, you will partake in the Habitat mission of building homes and changing lives.
