College students spending Spring Break at Clay Habitat

GREEN COVE SPRINGS – Clay County Habitat for Humanity will welcome students from Pennsylvania College of Technology next week.

During the week of their Spring Break, 18 students will be volunteering on various projects. Their first day of work is Monday and they will depart on Saturday.

An opening ceremony will be held Monday at 8 a.m. at the Habitat Commons, 998 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Green Cove Springs.

For more than 25 years, Habitat has provided alternative school break volunteer opportunities to college students. Since this program began in the late '80s, more than 250,000 have committed to building safe, affordable homes across the United States through Collegiate Challenge.

The college students will be volunteering at a property in Green Cove Springs. They will learn about the need for affordable housing in Clay County and in the state of Florida. Over Clay Habitat’s 43-year history, the organization has constructed 111 homes in Green Cove Springs on various scattered sites totaling 176 houses in Clay County.

Habitat’s goal has been to make a positive impact on the communities it serves.
