These volunteers represent individuals, students, civic groups, and faith groups who make our work possible. We are fortunate to have three colleges and universities in our service area and welcome volunteer groups, service learning clubs, fraternities, and interns from the University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara City College, and Westmont College.
Many students fulfill their community service requirements by volunteering with Habitat, and both UCSB and Westmont have active Habitat for Humanity campus clubs who are eager to volunteer and help in the community.
This summer we were fortunate to have Lauren interning with us from the University of California, Davis. Lauren helped with the online marketing and promotion of the ReStore's merchandise. This is no small task as items come and go from the ReStore on a daily (nay hourly) basis. Lauren also helped with the planning and day-of tasks of the ReStore's annual summer BBQ and sale. Last week we celebrated her last day with us. All staff and volunteers were sad to see her go, but thankful for the many hours she interned with Habitat this summer. She will be missed!
