What is a Campus Chapter?


- A campus chapter is an unincorporated student-run, student-led organization of Habitat for Humanity that performs three main functions: building, educating, and fund-raising.

   

What is an Affiliate?

- An affiliate is the incorporated, local, non-profit, Habitat for Humanity organization charged with carrying out the mission at the grassroots level. Affiliates typically have five committees: family nurture, family selection, site selection, construction, publicity and fund-raising.

Roles

-Because of the changes in chapter and affiliate membership there is an ongoing need for education and the exchange of information about each other's structure and purposes. This can happen informally as members work side-by-side and formally during meetings and regional conferences. Campus chapters can take initiative to educate themselves about affiliates by requesting to use affiliate resources, such as literature, manuals and videos, reading "Habitat World" and hosting speakers from affiliates. They can also offer information to affiliates about campus chapter activities, structure, and purposes.
