Calling all alumni! We are looking for someone to be a part of WAC Habitat’s executive board as our Alumni Representative.

They would work with the club to coordinate alumni events, including build days and fundraisers, and they would keep our amazing alumni network engaged and connected. You do not need to have served as a Habitat officer during your time at WAC, you just need to be enthusiastic about Habitat :) If you are interested, please contact [email protected] for the application document.

Patrick Skluzacek suffered from PTSD-related nightmares, which were ruining his life. His son, Tyler, created a smartwatch application to disrupt them. The app recently won FDA approval.

Another throwback for ya! Check out spring break 2014! And a reminder that the cost of student’s break trip fees will now need to include funds for PPE for each day on the worksite. Your donations are needed now more than ever to ensure the safety of our awesome volunteers! donation link below

Happy ! We’re starting off by throwing it all the way back to Spring Break 2012! In 2012, it cost about $3,750 to feed the group of 30 volunteers for the week. For the club to go on a Spring Break trip this coming year, it would cost about $4,260 for food for the week! The typical college student budget is not always ready to shell out this fee every time they want to attend a Habitat trip. Your donations make it possible for those who need a helping hand to be able to volunteer their time for such an amazing cause! Donation link below!
