What is the Youth Program?
The Youth Program is to channel the youthful creativity, energy, and aspirations of Habitat supporters under the age of 25 into Habitat's various activities so that they can be educated and empowered to end poverty housing worldwide. At the current time, many supporters of Habitat for Humanity Japan (HFH Japan)belong to student-run Habitat organizations, called Campus Chapters (CC) and Campus Clubs (CClub), where their efforts have made a great contribution to those in need of a decent place to live. HFH Japan has been supporting the establishment of CCs and CClubs and conducting productive meetings, events, and so on, throughout Japan. In the near future we hope to launch more unique programs that give various useful social experiences to young people living in Japan who participate in Habitat activities
What are Campus Chapters and Campus Clubs?
Campus Chapters and Campus Clubs are student-run Habitat organizations that are officially recognized by HFH Japan, so their role is very significant. They have three primary roles
- Building Houses
Participation in building or renovating houses in cooperation with local Habitat affiliates and homeowners. - Raising Awareness
Education of the Campus and local communities; informing them of issues related to poverty housing in terms of human rights; spreading information about the activities of Habitat for Humanity. - Raising Funds
Eliciting financial support for the activities of Habitat for Humanity, such as the collecting of contributions on the street, a flea market, and the like.
Through the activities of a Campus Chapter/Campus Club, students can translate their social concerns into concrete action and work with other participants who share the same goals. Since 1987, about 900 Campus Chapters have been established worldwide. As of October, 2006, eight Campus Chapters and four Campus Clubs are active throughout Japan.
