Habitat Lake-Sumter’s Youth Construction Academy, through the partnership of select High Schools, is a vocational program designed to provide experiential learning and introduce students to the field of construction. Students graduate the program with access and opportunity for internships and employment.
Construction of each home began at the start of the Fall semester last year and will continue through April 2023. The students and teachers will be included in each ceremony as we welcome home the families selected through Habitat’s Home Ownership program.
