Capacity Build

The "Capacity Build" is an incredible project in which the Keene State College campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity will sponsor their own house in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire. The time, money, and manpower that are involved with building a house are so enourmous yet not outweighed by the happiness and security of the family who will own their first home. Keene State College is a great resource for a project of this extent, with their emphasis on experimental learning and involvment in the community.

It Takes A Community To Build A House...

The project will require the dedication of many students, organizations, and the community members who want to accomplish this goal together. The people of Keene, both full time residents and students are such motivated, hard working people who are so often willing to help their neighbors and friends, as well as strangers in need. A strong groupd will be needed for leadership on this project, and others will be relied heavily for fundraising, planning, and manpower on the worksite. People of all skills and talents are needed for this community-wide effort. Anyone can help build a house!

Monadnock Affiliate Partnership

It is uncommon for a campus chapter to be closely linked with their local affiliate. Keene State has a strong partnership with the Monadnock Affiliate and the Keene Community at large. The Campus Chapter is gratefull to have long-standing partnership with the Monadnock Habitat Affiliate. This is a valuable resource as we embark on building a house to begin to collaborate with campus and community partners.
