UCLA Habitat for Humanity

Habitat For Humanity at UCLA is leading two trips abroad this winter break to Peru & El Salvador! Join us as we help build homes for families in need and experience the beauty & culture of these two amazing countries!

We will depart after finals week of fall quarter, school year 2012-13 (approx. that Saturday) and return home in time for the holidays or maybe decide to stay in the country for the Holidays. We will build at the sites for one week Monday-Friday during the day but will also have time to relax & explore after building.

The program fees for each trip vary. The tentative costs are represented in the table below.

Your Global Village chairs will do all that they can to help you fundraise, organize the trip, and have a live changing experience.

The application is available here: global-village-application-2012-2013. You must email them to globalvillageucla@gmail.com. Applications are due Friday of Week 9 at 5P.M. UCLA alumni and grad students are welcome to apply.

Wanna enjoy some homemade baked goods? Then come out to Habitat for Humanity’s bake sale! We will be selling CUPCAKES, BROWNIES and CAKE POPS, so don’t miss out on this. Plus, this could also be a good way to get something for yourself in case you didn’t get what you wanted on Valentine’s Day. But even if you got what you wanted, still come out and support our cause to fight against substandard housing conditions.

*All proceeds will support UCLA Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge New Orleans Team*

What: Bake Sale

UCLA Habitat for Humanity is hosting a Wristband + T-Shirt Fundraiser on Bruinwalk, Feb. 15th – 24th. Our wristbands glow-in-the-dark, with the message of “I ? NAILIN’ ” to represent your affinity for manual labor, without skimping out on the double entendre. Bands are $2, can and should be adorned during Dance Marathon, and if interested, you can purchase a YEARLONG Habitat membership for $15, with a T-SHIRT and FREE WRISTBAND. Make sure you stop by during these days and help support us!

For you general members, if interested in signing up to help with the event, respond to this with your email and I’ll send you the sign-up link!

Thanks so much!

Hey everyone! As Habitat’s way of welcoming you back to UCLA and winter quarter, we are hosting a Glow in the Dark Capture the Flag social. So please come out, bring your competitive nature and get to know all of the wonderful people in this organization! 

It will be at Sunset Rec Lower Lawn, Friday February 3rd from 6-8 pm.

Please sign up @ here.

We look forward to seeing you!

Hi everyone!

UCLA Habitat for Humanity will be holding its first ever Boba Sale this Monday, November 14th from 10am – 2pm. We will be selling delicious, refreshing milk tea in the Court of Sciences (table in front of Boelter Hall) as a fundraiser to support all of the amazing things we want to achieve as an organization this year.

If you consider yourself a proponent of Habitat’s ideals, have enjoyed all of our events thus far and care about keeping our momentum going, and most importantly, love the taste of bubble milk tea, we would love to have you come out to quench your thirst! On the way to class, work, research, etc – or going back home after a long, treacherous day – they’re only $3 each and it’s for the best cause out there! This is a great way to fundraise for events, materials for build days, and to get Habitat’s name out there!

Thanks for the support!
