Habitat for Humanity alternative winter break trip Jan. 10-17

Habitat for Humanity will be hosting an alternative winter break trip Jan. 10-17, in Georgetown, SC. The mission of Habitat is to provide affordable housing for all, and on the trip, we will be volunteering at a construction site for a home for a family in need. Also, this will be a very exciting trip, as Georgetown is located very close to the ocean and also only a little over an hour from Charleston, so there will be many fun options for your free time. 

If you would like to attend the trip: the total cost of the trip will be $400, including a $50 down payment, and a $350 trip fee. This cost covers all your food, lodging, and transportation expenses. Email info@umdhabitat.org to arrange a time to meet with an executive board member in the Student Involvement Suite to pay the down payment by cash or check as soon as possible to reserve a spot on the trip.

Here are some answers to FAQs about the trip:
  • Transportation: We travel by van from UMD and the distance is approximately 8 hours.
  • Living accommodations: You will be staying in a volunteer house with a kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and free wifi
  • Approximate schedule: During the trip, you will work for 4 or 4.5 days on the construction site, have 1 field trip day to experience SC, and spend the first and last days in transit
Please contact info@umdhabitat.org to ask any questions or arrange to submit a down payment!
